Richard spring was a decent race for me. I ran 16:11 and splits were (5:02, 5:33, 5:35) place was 216. It is about a 40 second pr for me but the time isn’t important for me. I am not where I want to be on the team for place and my mentality as of now. I have the problem of not being focused on competing and just trying to get the race over with. It is a problem I’ve always had for cross country races, progressions, and long runs. But I was able to work upon it this race. I got out harder than red devil going 5:02, held on for longer, and started to kick 300m earlier. I know my fitness is there and if I can focus on competing and working on that 1.5-2.5 mile mark on the next few races I know I can run to my potential. I am not satisfied with how I ran today but it is progress.
