AM: Had to wake up early to hit a 5K at 6:30 up in Enterprise. Met at Coaches house around 5 to get going and we got up there around 6 and we all saw some buses and thought those aren't for us so we headed to a nearby church house to go to the bathroom. Turns out that the buses we saw were for us to head up the canyon three miles to the starting line. We had to hitch-hike a ride to the place to start so we only got like .25 of a mile in for warm up in all of the worry of actually being able to compete in the race. A nice older gentleman gave us a fast ride to where we needed to be so that was good. The air was cool which was definitely a change from what we are used to at morning practice. We started and we wanted Matt and Kyler to go with us (us being Byron and myself). Mile one.. 5:12. Exactly what we wanted for our first mile and we realized that the other two guys had already fallen back so no need to worry about them anymore. Our next mile I stuck with coach as he ran the 10K and Byron was right there as well. As we hit 1.5 I was really putting it in my head that we were half way done. After mile two.. 5:16 coach had said that we needed our last mile the fastest so we needed to catch up to Logan. Byron was a beast and made up that ground really quick and I still sat just a little ahead of coach. It wasn't til about half a mile left that I decided to make my move and I moved up by Byron and Logan and decided I would take the lead and I pushed it to the 3 mile marker.. 5:15. I finished pretty strong I thought, the last mile wasn't the fastest but we had a consistent 5K which was awesome. Very pleased with my time and race. Loving these races we are doing, great confidence boosters. Oh yeah we had a 1-5 sweep from our team so that was sweet. 3 mile cool down with the guys, great 24th. PM: Easy 3 from Coaches house. It was pretty hot but the run felt good, legs felt alright considering the race this morning. After the run we had a pool party and did some stuff for camp, been a great day. Looking forward to next week for camp! |
