Ran 2 miles warm up way too early. Me thom and sean sat around for almost an hour after we warmed up waiting for our heats to roll around. Wasn't sure how I was feeling. Some of my best races are that way. When I'm not sure, I just go out and race. Right before I raced I had a front row seat watching sean win his heat with a 4:24.80! Insane! I don't know how he does it, he always gets insane pr's at byu. He missed state by just a little bit so that stinks but I know he will qualify at region. Thom got 4:29 and broke into the 20's so that was sick as well.
Got out well the first part. First lap was a 65. Maybe a lil slow but still just under pace. Second lap was a 67 so I was at 2:12 which is good. I'm getting better at sticking with the others and running better middle laps. The third lap jamie told us to do 5 little strides to keep the legs going and keep on pace. I did every time there was a gap. I remember Nic Demler was a few meters ahead and I surged a lil and closed it. I remember thinking that I needed about a 65 last lap to get state, so that means about 3:19. I was kinda wiped out from the surges but with 300 to go I guess I found a second wind and closed hard. With 100 to go I told myself you've ran on pace for 1500 meters, yur sure as heck not gonna lose it right now. Got second in my heat behind Travis Feeny. Got 4:23.25. Bill says I coulda won the heat but I can worry about that some other day, I was focused on qualifying and I did that so I'm happy.
After the race my legs were sooooo tired. I wanted to die but I fast walked to my fam and celebrated with them for a lil and then went and gave jamie a bear hug cuz I was turnt af. In such a studded field it was awesome to come out in second place. I was so happy on the cool down I just wanted to sprint it. After I finished up miles I just sat around and watched the amazing performances. Such as my boys from the blog Garek and Conner wrecking the mile. Oh my gosh they are bomb. It was such a fun race to watch. Orems 4x100 got a state record 41.46. Dylan got a 1:55. Sara Musselman (my gf) got a 30 second pr in the 2mile yesterday and then slayed the mile today.
Shout out to Jamie for being the most bomb coach ever and helping me reach my goals. I also wouldn't be as good with out my baller teammates that push me everyday, I love you guys #lehitrack #teampre
Ok, so now the plan is run the 800 at region and see how fast I can get that and then run the 32 and 16 at state. Goals are 9:20 and 4:22! SO PUMPED ITS GONNA BE SICK!!
