Today was our time trial. Went to coach's and then he talked to us a little about races and race day. We stretched then warmed up to Manila Pond then ran part of the course. The course was a big loop followed by a little loop then you did it again and had a little straight away at the end. Most of the guy wore spikes but at the last second I decided not to because there was a good amount of cement. I was pretty nervous and wasn't feeling ready to race. We drained our legs and did strides. We started off kind of fsat. Jared and I led for about 1.5 miles then Riley caught us and past. Jared went with him. My first mile was 5:06 so a little too fast and I felt it later because my second mile was 5:26 but that's my two mile PR so that was kind of cool. I finished third so much better than I expected. I'm excited to race because I know I can go much faster for multiple reasons, one of them being we had to run through a section where the sprinklers were on three times. Cooled down then had french toast and swam. Happy with how the trial turned out.
Worked with Zack at night got some serious mileage running from wasps that we were trying to zap. Gan came so that was great as well as Casey with Bonnie and Patch with his brother.
