Today was the first day of the Hurricane Invitational track meet. It started at 3:00 with the girls 3200. I rested all day and didn't worry too much about the race. At 2:00 I went over to the track and started warming up. I just ran a couple laps to loosen up my legs. After watching the girls races (2 heats) I went down to the bull pen and got my number. They had a slow heat of guys first and then it was our turn. I didn't know what I was capable of this first meet so I just drafted off a couple guys -- Nathan Fletcher and Jonathan from Timpview and Hayden from Snow Canyon. Us four guys were alone most of the race. I felt like we were going too slow, but I didn't want to pass them because I wasn't sure what I could do. Last lap came and I had way too much energy. I passed them on the home stretch to win it with a PR by 11 seconds! Already qualified for state! Here are my splits: 1 -- 1:14
2 -- 1:15
3 -- 1:14
4 -- 1:15
5 -- 1:14
6 -- 1:15
7 -- 1:12
8 -- 1:03 (Yeah I know -- way too fast!) Afterwards I did a mile or so cool down with Hayden and all the Timpview guys. My legs feel great so I hope they will be good for tomorrow. Anyway, I'm excited for what I will be capable of this year. School records -- here I come!
