Warmed up and got onto the track for the 2nd mile. The track club showed up before I started so I asked them if there were any lanes they wouldn't be using. They said lane 8 was fine. But then when I started my 3 miler they started laying down in the lane I was in and getting in my way every lap, wouldn't get out of the way after several laps and if anything were getting more aggressive. None of them were running, just intentionally getting in my way. After 7ish laps I took the hint and got off the track.

Took a lot of self control for me not to say something like "big attitude for last place in the MAC". But it's no big deal. Just didn't really understand why they were acting like that. I would have left if they'd asked.

Speaking of college running, super proud of my alma mater and former team at SUU for taking 9th at nationals. Also watching Conner Mantz win was possibly the highlight of my year so far, what a performance!
