630am- easy 20 minute shakout run
415pm- Region 9 3200
Race today was no better than my other races, only difference was my teamates worked with me and sacrificed to help me have a good race. We started off decent pace, Bryson and Eric took the lead early. Preston Mitch and Carson ran right with me and kept at good pace. First mile was slow, 501, but I wasnt worried, I felt good and mitch and carson were still right with me. The heat was intense, I was pouring sweat and my feet were burning. Carson got up in front of me. I was so focused on staying with him I lost count of the laps for a bit. With 2 laps left I was still just running with Carson. On the last lap I picked it up a little, Jensen passed me up. I went with carson and kept grinding untill I crossed the line. I already know that carson could have smoked jensen. He dropped behind me for the last 50 and let me take 4th. I depended on my teamates the whole race and Im really thankful for them. I havent been able to run good mentally this season at all. And im glad I have teamates to rely on when Im weak. 10:05 for my time. Not a bad time but not any better than the rest of the season. I have one more chance at state. hopefully I can get it.
