Opened up my indoor season today. This was a really fun meet. I got to watch the weight throw for the first time which was really cool. The 5k guys did a great job and Ted and Rob had great races. The milers did a great job even though the pace lagged and they should've taken control. My race was pretty good. I was pretty nervous going in since I had no idea what to expect but I thought I executed smartly. To be honest, I was a pussy. There isn't any other way to put it. Sure, I pr'd and my time wasn't bad, but I definitely could have pushed harder at the end. It was like I forgot that I was in a race during the last mile. I got complacent and felt bad for myself, only wanting the race to end before the gun even went off. I will not let this happen again. All in all, it was a really fun day. The cooldown with Max and Donn was awesome. Annapolis is a really cool place even though it was really windy.
