Today I ran the 1500 at the track meet at BYU. I was very sore from doing the steeplechase earlier in the week and when I first woke-up I could barely walk. I got to the meet a little bit early so I would have enough time to get my legs to loosen up. By the time the race started I was still very tight, but I figured I would just see what I could do. I went out at about 1:30, but I slowed down because my final time was 5:56. I'm not sure what my splits were. Me and Alexander Barry were together most of the time but in the last 200 meters I picked it up and he didn't stay with me. I felt bad outkicking him, but it was good practice since my kick needs some work. Overall I was happy with the race, considering how I felt, but I need to improve my time by alot if I want to qualify for nationals. |
