11am- Dixie Invitational- 800m
I didnt wake up early enough and I only had some toast and milk for breakfast so not much nutrients. Upon arrival to the meet we chilled and ran some reverse indian run on the track. Then me and Cam did some backwards reverse indian run and then we watched the people do the 3200 in which like 3 of our girls and none of our boys qualified for state. Like 30 minutes before our race me and Nick and Cam and Paul warmed up to the park and around the city. I did some striders on the field as Cam was winning his heat of the 800 and that is good.
Me and Nick and Paul and Skylar were all in the same heat and I didnt even know Brycen was doing the 800 and he was right next to me in alley 3. I was thinking in my mind I am going to beat him today but nope. As soon as the gun went off I forgot what my plan for the race was and it resulted in a bad start cuz I was brain dead and trying to think basic thoughts. I started out slow like all the way in the back of everybody and that was bad. Coming into lap #2 I was still in like dead last and so I tried to get my A in gear. In my mind I was like freak I am tired. With like 250 left I saw Brycen like 3 seconds in front of me and so I caught up to him but then he started going hard and we battled it out for the last 100 meters. Hey I am ashamed that he beat me because I know that I could sprint faster than I did. Plus with how slow my first 700m were I should have easily been able to get up to top speed. But no he beat me by .08 and I now join Jaxon in the club of missing top 8 by less than 1/10 of a second. Luckily though you get ritz crackers if you are in that club so heck yes
This meet I got no PRs but next time I will because I will choose to make it hurt mas. Live mas. Its my life, my xbox. Coach is tired of me running slow and so am I. After we went and got some post-race GoSnow shaved iice. I have the utmost respect for that establishment and its merchendise.
