Comments:
We had a long talk where both Pete and Nick emphasized even further the importance of Saturday, did some visualization exercises lying on the grass--not the easiest when you've never been to the course, but still relaxing--and then I ran an out (16:04) and back to Gale with David. I told him that I am no longer in denial about Little Threes potentially marking the end of my season. Putting these types of things in writing would have been quite gauche at GDS, especially with all my current teammates reading, but in order to have a chance at ECACs, I'd have to 1) have a huge PR; 2) beat at least Hiroshi, Jacob Kahrs and Cowen. So I have my work cut out for me. Hence the very short run two days before--whereas Sunday through yesterday, I kept saying, "Oh well I kind of want to do some medium volume because I don't want to go into a total taper yet, bla bla bla." No more of that nonsense, especially after the coaches flat out told everyone to go really easy and not even hike on Mountain Day--which may end up being the lamest mountain day ever because of the rain.
