AM: right off of the bus at noon, soleus still feeling tight and kinda achey, will just get it worked on before the race, legs felt decent otherwise, nothing out of the ordinary, 200's at race pace felt decent, just cruising till race, took a small nap, maybe dinner a little earlier than 3 hours before next time when regular sized PM: VT Indoor, 2mi/2nd run/3k/~3mi; got out well and slotted into the perfect spot, felt pretty smooth and easy through the first k but legs started to get heavier as got towards the mile and feel off Anthony's pace a bit, no one else was going with kinda a weird race, should've joined Derek's move up at 1800 but legs/instincts just didn't have the immediate response, felt like could've dug a bit deeper and competed a bit harder that last 800 but legs were just not able to go much faster and weren't really responding, ended up 3rd beating some good runners who I don't know what happened to them, okay race really wanted to run 8:10 or under and feel fit enough to but just not the day for me, feel like gave it a solid effort and didn't give up even though maybe could've been tougher towards the end, felt so much harder for what it was time wise crossed the line expecting faster, the xc 3k felt so much easier, considering hard training and 75 mile week though I'll take it for a rust buster and just move forward from here as a base
