I got to race in the 2nd fastest heat of the 3200m but I got a bad starting point, it was the back row of the 3rd ally. So I got out and I didn't worry too much about getting a great starting position, I just got in the pack and cruised. The first lap felt like a jog, not even tough and I hit a 75 so I was feeling good and I felt good about the pace, then everyone around me started slowing down, and I was just like "What are you guys doing?!?" So I picked it up and tryed to get ahead of people, I ran ahead of Andrew Lawson and 10 other guys on the 2nd and 3rd laps but I was still 5 behind Davis and those guys would NOT let me pass, I should have just knocked them off the track, its not like it would have mattered hahaha... but really. Anyways I was trying to get back up to Davis so I we could work together but it just wasn't happening. I started my kick with 400m left, that was a mistake, I should have kicked the last 800m, and I didn't start my kick very fast at all I just slightly picked it up. I want to concentrate on the mile this upcoming meet, I think its Alpha, and after that I want to make an attempt at sub 10:00 with Davis and Cubby. Good PR, 10:21 isn't bad. Davis ran a 10:11 and Ashton made a huge PR of 10:38 or so! Great day. I also ran the 800m for Braydon because his feet were getting torn up badly and I didn't get last in the seeded heat which was my goals so yay haha. Mafia on the trip back was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!
