Race - Warmed up 1.5 miles and then waited forever for them to shoot the gun. I got out a little slower than I did at Hurricane and I ended up being like middle pack because everybody thought that we were actually running the 200 meter not the 3 mile. I worked my way up eventually (with a few little shoves, pushes, and elbows). I ran okay for the first half but I just did not stay mentally tough and I fell back. I know I can run faster than this, I've done it so many times before. I know I can run with Andrew, Jake, Preston, Jason, and Josh. I also know that I can beat all of them (I've beat all of them). I know that physically I can run fast times and run great races but what really holds me back is my mental toughness. I'll just have to get refocused next week and go kill the time trial.
