Mile time trial today. To be honest I hate time trials because they suck and it's like racing when there is really no race. You don't have the usual adrenaline going through you so the feeling is a lot different. I warmed up to 2 by running on the dirt road east of Canyon Elementary. When I got back to the school I switched into my vic's and my coach started me out. My coach started a big group to run the mile while I was warming up so it was just another slower kid and me. I felt pretty good the first lap. The only thing that sucked was until from the 300 back to the start there was a really big headwind. That sure slowed me down a bit. By the last lap my split was was a 3:33. I was still feeling really good but I just didn't have that urgency to start pushing all out. I picked up the pace just a bit and crossed the line in 4:40. That's kinda slow for me but I don't really care. I didn't have the racing mentality. Cooled down to 6 with Eric.
