Roadrunner race today. It was a 3200 on the Timpview High track. I ran 3 miles in the morning with Dad and JoJo then raced around 4:00 PM. My goal was to run 80s until I couldn't then slow down to around 82s. John Hedengren paced me and JoJo. Our first lap was a bit slow, 82. Then we ran 79, then 78. I felt pretty good for the first laps. The fourth lap was 80, we had dropped JoJo a little by this point. We had 5:19 at the mile. On the fifth lap I started no feeling so great, so we slowed down a little and ran 83. I had 6:42 at the 2000, PR! In the sixth lap I felt pretty miserable and slowed down to an 87. John was still pacing me. The next lap was worse, I ran 88. At 2800 I had 9:38. I saw I could break 11:00 so I started kicking. At 3000 I had 10:20, another PR! I ran 38 for the last 200 and finshed with 10:58(which is also a PR, but I've only ever run 3200 once about 4 years ago). JoJo ran 11:04. I'm happy with this race, but I need to work on the middle laps. My legs actually didn't hurt too bad, but I just felt pretty miserable. But 3 PRs in one race is pretty good! I probably wouldn't have run as fast without John pacing me. So I'm glad he paced me.
