Today was awesome! Even after running a pr in the 800 yesterday I had a great race and unoffically got 9:51 in the two mile. I had a side ache in the warm up and we warmed up WAY too early, I had to stand around for an hour after we warmed up. But I got out ok, in about 8th place. I was in the second fastest heat. It was perfect because I wanted to run sub 10 and that was pretty much everybody elses goal, so we were all close. It was strung out a little so I didn't ever get boxed in and the first mile I just cruised and followed the pace of the other guys, we were about 4:54. Then I started to move up the second mile and I found myself feeling really good and in 3rd when the last lap started. I picked it up cuz Frazier from Davis was close, I was at 9:20 with half a lap left so I started kick from there. Kyle Rummens from Woods Cross was a few seconds ahead of me and I wasn't sure if I could catch him, but I caught up to him with about 70 meters to go and was able to have a really strong kick and finish in second place in the heat and get a 9:51 unofficially. Jaden Torgerson the 3A xc state champ won the heat in 9:48. I made a huge mental improvement because what I have done before is start out good but then the guys would pick up the pace in the middle, and I would fall back. I finally made a promise to stay with the pack and it worked out awesome with a 9 second pr.
Shout out to my boy @collinxc (collin morrison) because he killed the third heat of the two mile and got 10:11! A huge pr for him and @dbrickasean for getting a 2:02 in the 800!
