1600 at the BYU invite today. Got there and hung for a while. Got my bib and spikes ready which took longer than expected with some difficulty getting the spikes out but it was all good. Warmed up 1.75. Went to the bull pen. 2 strides by the line. Went off and was at the back but I didn't necessarily care because it was stacked. Came thru at 65 I think, then 2:11 which isn't horrible. I can't really remember a ton of the race. I mostly just went with the pack. Came thru 1200 and remember thinking I needed a 64 to qualify so somewhere around a 3:19. Need to be better the third lap. Had a good last lap and finished in 4:22.25 exactly a second faster than I ran last year. Which is somewhat disheartening because I really would have wanted to cut off more then just 1.0 second in a whole year of training but then I thought that at least I qualified and no matter what happens I get to run not one but two events at state in the hardest classification which is a great accomplishment that not a lot of people get and I am not injured so I am very blessed and the year isn't over so I still have a chance to run faster.
Ran 1.25 barefoot miles with Asa while they were doing some of the golden hour events we didn't care as much about. Watched the rest of the meet which was sick with all the amazing performances. Drove back to Lehi and did 7.5 to finish up for the day.
