Not my best workout today. 10x400s at Crescent view park.

My splits were something like... 70, 71, 75, 74, 75, 76, 75, 76, 77, 75. I was supposed to be hitting 75s.

Cool race. Not really, it was pretty hot today. Murphy told us to go out and run our hardest but don't worry too much because it's just Pre-Region. Which really means "You better go out and win." hahaha I'm just kidding. We should have beat Bingham handily since we beat them on Saturday (By a good margin). However we did go hard yesterday and I decided to try a new race strategy, soooooo we lost. We may have even lost to Copper Hills... That's pretty embarrassing, I mean Hawks don't lose to Grizzlies!

Anyways Murphy wasn't too unhappy about the meet other than that our 1-5 spread was NOT GOOD! 1:30. It was mostly my fault. I'm taking the blame for it but i'm not taking the negativity to heart. What I am taking to heart is what I learned!!!

Today I learned that Murphy is one heckuva coach. I mean come on, he's almost 50 years young, that old man knows what he's doing! He's been around the block a few hundred times! ok, ok, ok.... I decided to test his theory today. "Get out hard, get out fast, but not too fast." I went out very slow. So slow, at the crest of the first downhill I saw probably 10 Bingham jerseys ahead of me. Brighton too! I had to pass a TON of guys! I started working on the last downhill of the second lap. I worked and worked and worked. I had the Bingham 5th man withing striking distance by the start of the 3rd lap. I was soooo tired from working the whole time that I didn't have enough left to make the pass. By the end of the first hill the Bingham 6th man was on my heels. He hauled up that hill and I didn't. By the top of the Plateau Zach had passed me. From that point on I just had to try to Hang on.

Lessons Learned (or Relearned/Reaffirmed):

1. Brighton Bengals are actually nice kids

2. Region course really isn't that bad

3. "Go out Hard, Go out Fast, but not too Fast"

4. I have the best coach you could ask for

3 and 4 are the biggest and most important.

Coleman Lloyd from Jordan came to run with us in the gully because I thought we were doing a long run. We ended up running the Gully for time. I ran 43:31 Coleman beat all of us.
