I had to start warming up not long after I got out there after the brutal AP Stats test we had to take. I went to the bathroom twice which I think helped. My legs felt pretty alright once I was nice and warmed up. The weather was nice today, no sun and cool.
I didn't have a great start and got boxed in on the first lap. I had to go way wide 350 in to get out of it because Fessler was passing me. I went through in 69. I got into better position behind Colter and went through in 2:20. I tried to really focus on moving that third lap. I was 3:30 at 1200 meters and just tried to turn into a sprinter. My legs were really starting to feel it. I had passed Colter and was trying to move, especially with 200 to go. My legs weren't carrying me super well and Kendall and a Woods Cross kid passed me on the inside. When I saw it was Kendall I told myself I was going to give it my all to not let him beat me. I was closing on them but didn't know if I would have room. Those two started like wrestling so I barely edged them to finish in 4:37.69. I couldn't complain because I was 5th and a one second PR!
My legs were killing and screaming after that 1600. I ended up just doing a bunch of jogging to cooldown/get ready for the 800. Unfortunately I had mentally shut down by that point and wasn't in it mentally of physically.
I ran a decent first lap, 61. But after that I just didn't have the will or physical power to fight and got passed by a few.. 2:09.8 I think for 10th.
Some sporatic jogging around for quite a while during the remaining part of the meet. Time to rest up.
