THINGS TO WORK ON

> All of this week's coach's comments are about pacing.  Review your mile split & place, compare to your final ave pace & place and learn!

> In a perfect world, your 1st mile pace would be no more than 10 seconds faster than your average pace for the entire race.

> Two more races to get pace figured out before championship season!   You need to know your body.   Be aware of your position early.

> Let's run smart Saturday.  The competition will be good, which typically means most girls will start too fast.  Not a good idea on this course.

> Each of you needs to find the right balance between not starting so slowly that you get too caught up behind slower girls so that you don't give yourself a chance to finish where you should and not going so much too fast that you can't finish strong and move up places in the last half of the race when in counts.   In general, for this race, my advice would be to just make sure you are feeling strong and under control during the first mile.  If you feel like you are sprinting and your breathing is already so heavy that you are gasping before half way, you need to back off until you feel under control.
