1.5 miles of collective warming up and then a race. I should have done a few more miles or something during the day because I was just not ready to race as well as I could, I had just been lying down trying to conserve energy from 9 to 8 or 9 so by the time I started warming up my body just wouldn't get itself to a race state, people got my split at different times from 2:05.96 to 2:09 but the important part is that we won. The first event I have ever won! And my first medal!

Those are good thoughts Blake. That's why you keep a log of your running and racing so you can remember what worked and what didn't and learn from it.

Congrats on a great meet!

Thanks! I had a great time, I can't wait to get back to running on Monday! Everyone had a great meet! I will definitely remember that for next time I have a meet like this.
