Went home during 4th and slept for 3 hours. Then did 4 on Parkway. Did a 2 mile warm up at the oval. I waited too long to start my warm up so I got back and the first 2 or 3 heats had already ran. I was hoping to go in the second heat with Collin and we were gonna see who could run faster. So I hurried and got my xc spikes on lol and headed over to the line. The first heat I could go in was the 2:12 - 2:16 group :( yay. So I did a few stretches and off we went. First 300 was right up in the front. Then I decided that it was too slow and I would take the lead. Well this guy with the most disgusting pony tail ever, who was up there too, jumps right back into first and cuts me off. This is how most of the race would play out. He was one of those nubes who had to be in the lead and so I kept trying to go around him and he just kept cutting me off. With 200 meters left I had to slow down not to run into him, that's how easy the pace was, I passed him for good. He still didn't let me pass him clean tho so we got into an elbow match and I told him to get out of my way. In the last 200 I gapped him by 7 seconds, won the heat, and did the dab as I crossed the finish line. Even tho I was pissed off, it was a really good race. I didn't do any drills, I ran on the outside a bunch, I have xc spikes, I haven't done much speed, and I still ran faster than I was at the end of the season last year.
Didn't feel tired after the 8 so I hopped in the 2 mile and ran with Riley and Nug for a little tempo. Got 10:45. It was really fun and our pace was nice and consistent. Got some pics with the HJP and did 1.5 cool down.
