Once we arrived to american fork Mason and I ran the two mile course for a shakeout, then a few hours of rest. I was pretty tired and it was Supa hot. Did about a 1.5 mile warmup, ran with dez hills for a couple minutes and then headed back. talked to Garek, Kennedy Powell, and American Fork for a minute or two, then did my stretches and headed to the starting line. The girls took forever, so I sweated on the starting line for like an hour. Flash forward to starting the relay. I went out alright, but 200m in the course bottlenecked, and I got pushed back to the back. For the next 800 a few people passed me, then I just kind of coasted into a weak pace. I don't know, I just couldn't. Lame. The second mile I caught an orange guy and almost another, but Mason got him after I handed off. I don't actually know my time but for now I'll call it 11:00. Mason and I ran like a mile after cheering for the other relay members. Shoutout to Talon Hull for hauling, and Garek for being 2 seconds away from the record with like a 9:45! And for Mason for making a blog #cherokeenation
2 miles when I got back home, and 6 more that night. Was supposed to run with Jacia but she bailed last minute, so I went a bit quicker. First few miles were in the 6:30's. strides after
