Notes
Easy run on the course, nice and chilly out. Course looks good.
Got damn I am excited for tomorrow. Have been working hard for a long time in order to have this opportunity and not gonna waste it. Confident that I am as prepared as I could possibly be to have a great one tomorrow.
With that said, don't want to go crazy. Same philosophy as the rest of the season, put myself in a position to do well but don't put any unnecessary pressure on myself. Each of my last three races has been a steady improvement and I think I can continue that trend and a little more tomorrow. Most important thing is to have another great race for me and know that plenty of guys are gonna tank. Not worrying about times too much, I want to run the first 2k RELAXED and confident, not get over my head. I'm really not worried about going out too slow, it just seems so much more likely / harmful that I start way too fast (5:17 first mile at SPAC felt comfortable so really no need to worry about going slow). Want to just keep my rhythm, stay focused and confident 2nd 2k, should be moving up. From there on out it's just about being process oriented and focused, just keep driving and don't worry about what comes next.
But really there's nothing to it, physically I am ready and add just a small dose of being smart and I will have a great race.
