Went to bed at 8 since I had to wake up at 3 AM to get on the bus. Ran a lap with Mason when we got to the campus. The course consists of 3 mile loops. I had it as a 5k but they called it 3 miles. The plan was to get Aaron to pace us for 5:40, then kick the second two laps. Gun goes off, and we hit the mile mark at 5:02. Nice job, Aaron. After that I just felt awful. Ran 5:50's the next two laps. Got beaten by Kedric and Christian. Not a good day. I think I need to cut back on my mileage and stop with these 12< mile runs once a week, they aren't good for me. Going to take the next day or two off and see how it works at the home meet. Pretty discouraged from the race, but the team needs me. As a team we did well. Mason managed to take 24th with a 16:11, Aaron and Christian both broke 17 and Kedric got a huge PR. We would have gotten 8th, but we tied with Corner Canyon, and their 6th was about a minute faster than Austin, our 6th. We did however beat Springville, bringing us closer to a region 8 win.
