Woke up and my legs felt a lot better than the day before. Ate another bagel and got some juice. Then we went to the track and waited for the girls to run all their 3200s. Some guy got hit by the javelin through his leg! That postponed everything for another half an hour. I didn't run till around 10:00. This time I had a good start and kept it up the whole race. Ran a 1:10, 1:10, 1:13, 1:12 for the first mile in 4:45. I started to get tired on the 6th lap and was breathing hard. I was running right with Mike from Morgan for the whole race. I debated whether to pass him or not because I could tell he was tired. I decided to wait. On the last lap I took off and passed him along the backstretch. I got 2nd behind Luke with a 9:33. PR by 8 seconds! Luke ran 8:54! Insane! The 800 was my last race. Montes from Ogden who was ranked 1st was hurt and didn't run. I was up against Ryberg and Luke. First lap was horrible like always in the open 800 with everyone throwing elbows and cutting people off. I finally broke loose and got behind Luke at the end of the first lap. Just pulled it in the second lap and beat Luke at the end to get 2nd with 1:57. Ryberg won with 1:55. I felt pretty good about my performances and my legs felt better after all my races than they did before all of them. Our team went on to get 2nd! We beat Judge by 4 points. Cedar won. We got 2nd with only 7 guys! Got home around 12:30 |
