### I am very happy with how conference went yesterday. I changed up my race strategy and instead of going out hard I got out slow and moved up methodically throughout the race. I not only felt so much better during the race I also felt much more confident. Ended up getting 10th in the open and ran a solid time given the conditions. Over the course of season I got so discouraged after every meet. Moving back to the #18 guy after a whole summer of training in top group made me feel like all the work I had put in was for nothing. I am so thankful that coach and the team continued to believe in me. It got me into a better mindset before conference. Leading up to the race I was still recovering from sickness and knew that my iron levels were still very low. But once I got to the line I just let go of all of the negative thoughts and excuses and just tried to focus on the race.
