New 5k PR....again. It seems like the high mileage is paying off, excited about the upcoming season. I dont have my splits but I think the first mile was right around 5:03 so I was pretty consistent around 5:07 the rest of the way to go a 15:53 in the end. The weather was perfect, a little cool before the start. I actually had a pretty rough week in school, w/ some tests and lab assignments due that kept me up late at night. Right after the race I also attended a free MCAT practice test from 11:30-3:30pm. It was excruciatingly long and difficult to say the least, but I'm glad I did it so that now I have a clear understanding of how hard it is and how much I need to study. I applied for a free MCAT prep course that will be given to the student who presents their motivations the best as well as their financial need. So hopefully ill get it.
On another note, my first triathlon race is coming up in two weeks. It will be very competitive with a former olympic medalist in the field. My goal is just to race to my potential, and have a good run. I want to be positioned well coming out of the swim in the lead pack and hopefully be one of the top U23 finishers. But also don't want to put too much pressure on myself so early in the season. Another of my goals is to continue to race well come august and september which is when the big races are.
