Track (Steeple) 10:03 [5] 3.0 km (3:21 / km)
my last chance at breaking 10 mins, SUNY albany. Pretty big meet. I was seeded at 10 mins ( how do coaches do that? do you have to be a compulsive liar to seed your runners) anyways, that put me at 9th.
cool, but humid. 14 runners, and the fastest was a 9:09 ( pretty solid time even for DIV I) I had a plan. 77-80-80-80-81-81-81-kick.
I tried to keep it, but started too fast yet again. 76-78-79-80-82-82-82-kick left me with 10:03. I passed a guy in the last water pit though, and I felt great the whole race. I moved up steadily, I just need a little more base I guess. The hurdles felt good ( but my form looks bad in pictures) and the best was that mom and dad came to watch ( and barb dominie). I liked the cheering. Next year I will break 10 certainly, it's soo close.
