I got to the race, and I was way nervous. I didn't know if I was ready for the meet. I did a warm up with Jadyn Asay, and then another one by myself before the race. I really wanted to PR, but I wasn't feeling as good as Thursday.
Race: We went out fast, and some guy who I don't konw led the first and second, and possibly the third before I passed him. I led a bit, and just tried to keep a good pace. I felt like I could PR. I hit the 800m at 2:15-2:16, leading the race. Somewhere between here and the mile Jerrell passed me, and then Ben and Elijah. I slowed down after each one passed me, and lost too much time. I tried to put in a few moves to gain back ground, but after a while I didn't think I could pass them. I did at the mile, and hit it at 4:35, which is the right pace for the meet record. After this I can't remember exactly what happened. Ben and Elijah passed me, and I was just a bit too far to draft off them. At 3 or 4 laps to go they hit a slower lap, and I caught up, but then the gained their ground on me again, and with 400m to go Ben left and Elijah tried to follow. I didn't feel like I could push the pace as much here. Ben ran a 9:00, hitting his last 400m at 55 seconds, while Elijah was 9:11. I came in with a 4 sec. personal best, and then Jordon and Jerrell came in(both of them were sick).
After I did a cool down with Jerrell, and then went out to eat with my grandparents, parents, and brother. Pretty much an amazing day as far as running went though. |
