Woke up early and ate a bagel and drank some juice. Then we went to the track. 1600 was the first race and the girls were just starting when we got there. I ran a mile to warm up and did some quick strides to loosen my legs up. The still felt pretty sore. I didn't know what was going to happen. I was ranked 2nd going into the race behind Luke Puskedra. Ran a slow first lap in 1:08 and picked up the pace after that going 1:05, 1:04, and 1:04 for a total time of 4:23.88. Just one hundredth of a second faster than my PR! Yay! And I took 2nd barely in front of Mike from Morgan. This boosted my confidence because I knew my legs were ok. Medley relay was later on in the day around 4:00. We were ranked 1st going into the race but we knew Cedar and Park City were right with us. We figured if we got a PR we would win. Mitch and Presten ran the 200s and got it to Colten in 3rd. Then Colten dropped to 4th when he handed to me. I got into 3rd on the backstretch and paced my first lap. Then I went all out the 2nd lap but it wasn't enough to catch up to Cedar and Park City. Even though we got a 2 second PR we still got 3rd! We ran 3:33. All of us PRed in our splits. Ryberg from Park City ran a 1:53 split!
