I didn't run the way that I thought I should have. During the race I was focused on staying up with the girls ahead of me but once I got over half way that's when mentally I began to lose it. I gave up and didn't push myself to stay up with the girls ahead of me. I know that I have been trying to not allow this to happen because it seems that whenever I race this happens.. I am going to continue to tell myself that I can do it and not allow the bad wolf to get the best of me.

Today I gave into the bad wolf again. It was disappointing because I was hoping to get under 1:50 at least but I know that this is my fault for not pushing myself. I find that before racing I am able to hype myself up and mentally believe that I can do it (this is normal for lots of people), but when it comes to racing I am very hard on myself and mentally am unable to tell myself that I can do it (and I know this is true for a lot of people too..).
During the race the first 2 laps went very good and then when going into the 3rd lap I was really trying to focus on pumping the arm because my legs were giving up.
