First outdoor meet of the year today! So that was cool. 2 mile warm up with Garek and the gang. Sadly he wasn't there to run the mile with me and sean #cryingemoji He prolly was afraid i'd beat him...... I got out good. My place didn't change much the entire race. Until the third or fourth lap I was in 5th place, drafting off of Camren Todd from Davis. So first lap was 65. Good. Second and third laps 70's. Not good. I could tell the leaders picking it up on the second lap and instead of surging past Camren and going with them I was a wimp and I stayed behind him. Josh Ward and Adam Haynes ended up getting 4:27's and I would have been close to that if I went with them. I didn't want to be going into the wind. But excuses excuses, wont let that happen again. Last lap was 63. Good. Finished fourth overall, so that was cool. I pr'd by about a second and a half, I was expecting more. Cooled down 3 miles.
Warm up of .75 or something for the 4x800. Originally Dylan was going to run it but he hurt his knee in the hurdles so Chris Kauffman ran our lead leg. He got a 2:08 and gave the baton to Brady in first so great job to him. Brady got the baton to me in first and ran a 2:06. I was all alone by that point so it was very hard to pace. Im good at pacing for other races but 800 is hard for me, especially when I had no idea if I went out to hard or if the guy was gaining on me. Pushed hard and got 2:05. Sean ran well got 2:05 and we won! Overall time was a little slow, 8:25. We'll have to see if we run it at Pine View.
Overall the meet was good, got some decent times. Now I can focus on good hard training for a week and a half and then were down to St. Geezy for the 2mile! I'm ready to throw down a killer time! (and beat warbeast) speaking of that, me and matt slayed AA today. Matt could hardly contain his excitement in her presence. I thought he was gonna pee his pants.
