Sectionals Mile. This was a great race a big PR for me. During the Warm up I felt amazing and I knew I was fit enough to run a fast time. We went out pretty hard in 63 but it didn’t feel super quick and I was able to stay connected with the pack. Next lap was pretty slow in a 69 and going into lap 3, I knew I just had to hang on. Coach told me I shouldn’t let any gaps form and stay engaged throughout the whole race and I kept thinking this in lap 3, usually my slowest lap. For the final lap, I just continued to press and give it everything I had. I knew how mad and disappointed I would be at myself if I let up, and that helped carry me to the finish line. Overall great race and happy for everyone who was able to qualify. Excited for the things to come. 4:27.8
