Today I had my first county quad meet. It was an interesting race, as I ran with the headliner #1 county runner the whole race. She seemed confident that she had the race and didn't push the pace. I was content to run with her and confident over the other runners. As expected, she had a faster finish and she took 1st. I was satisfied with 2nd and getting a feel for the competition and my endurance level but realized that I need to improve with a faster finish ability or be able to push pace earlier to have a chance at winning a big race, while realizing my goals are to keep improving and try to peak at the championship meets. I need a plan…
