Warmed about a mile and a half for the 3200. It was kinda chilly and I was nervous. We kept jogging and striding out to stay warm before the race. Then we started. I was kinda nervous and my mind kept bringing back my not so good race at region. I finally pushed it from my mind and started to just run. Caroline and Meskerem started way strong and I was afraid to start out that strong so I held back. Me and Jacey were going together for the first 4ish laps. I passed Caroline about lap 4 or 5. I felt good and I was in a decent spot. The next 2 laps are what kinda hurt me a little. Jacey went strong and I slowed down a little. Meskerem was falling back and I caught her, but I wasn't being mentally tough. Caroline and Ellie caught me on the 7th lap and I was trying to go with them, but they were starting to gap me. Then I told myself to don't t be a baby and just go for it. So I started to serge and I caught back up to them starting the last lap. I was just gonna stay with them, but I decided to start pushing and I went strong from the 300 and then at the 200 I just went. It was a good kick and I was very happy I went. It wasn't a pr, but a good race my time was 11:58. I was 11 overall right after Jacey and Laynee. State was very fun. Then I went on a cool down probably about a mile.
