| I was pleased with the physical effort, however, I was not pleased with our execution | |||||||||
| of the race plan. If we learn from this experience the race will prove to have been | |||||||||
| beneficial to our progress. We did a good job (much better than Notre Dame) at | |||||||||
| establishing our position. Unfortunately we forgot to relax and be efficient for the next | |||||||||
| mile. By continuing to run hard we set ourselves to be run down by the other teams. | |||||||||
| It is easier to be the chaser than the chasee. I must take some of the blame for our | |||||||||
| inability to sustain our early tempo better. We've been training very well (Tuesday's | |||||||||
| workout covered 5.5 miles of quality running) and the All Ohio course demands | |||||||||
| fresh legs -- especially if you go out hard. The good news is that all the hard work | |||||||||
| will pay off when it counts: at the MAC meet, the regional meet, and, if you dare to | |||||||||
| dream, at the NCAA meet. Congratulations to Brandi on running faster than at ND. | |||||||||
| What if we… all improved from ND like Brandi. Then we score 43 points. | |||||||||

| Comments: Besides Chris, we just did not get out in good position in the first mile. If you add up our | |||||||||
| score at the first mile, we score almost 600 points. In any other meet you can make up for a poor first mile | |||||||||
| over the second and third mile. But at All Ohio there are just too many bodies to go around and that | |||||||||
| is a lot of wasted energy. Pykare ran one heck of a race after the first mile. But he used up so much energy | |||||||||
| to get up to 53rd place at 3 miles. He had to surge and weave his way up the field. Scott Mate made the | |||||||||
| same mistakes but also ran a terrific race after the mile mark. Andrew and Nate ran solid | |||||||||
| races. Nate was aggressive and that will pay off over the next 3 weeks. Howard will be back soon and | |||||||||
| Adam bray is in great shape, so things are going well. Just may not have been real obvious by our | |||||||||
| 22nd place on Friday. Let's keep our noses to the grindstone. | |||||||||
| Last side note: Kyle Bowman was 24th place. Chris has beaten him both times we previously faced Kent. | |||||||||
| Pykare has finished within seconds of him both times. What does that tell us? We were (are) better | |||||||||
| than 51st and 52nd place. | |||||||||
