well today was the mile.... i was ranked 5 and hoping for a sub 4:25. I woke up feeling good and excited. ate what i could (which isn't much).

i was in the first ally and the race started. i was in very good position and felt good (1:06). second lap was rather slow (1:12) because everyone had the same idea of not taking the lead so we just went slower and slower and i felt like i was jogging. then the start of the third lap Ben, Jordon, and tyson made a big move and i went with them, thinking i couldn't stay with them very long, bad idea. on there second push i felt like they were going way to fast so i stuck with the first pace (1:08) as i saw them get further ahead i slowed more and i was in fifth by the last hundred meters. then the dixie kid came sprinting by me and he broke me. then i got passed again the last 1 meter which put me in 7; one place from a medal.

i was very disappointed with myself here. i really just thought about it too much and put into my head that i have never had a good first day... which is true because i think that. I'm really mad that i don't have another mile to race, cause i want to end a little better than that.
