good morning. i was very excited for the race...and nervous. warmed up 2 miles and just got prepared mentally. i didn't really know what goal to set time wise since i hadn't been hitting very fast times lately, so i just wanted to be in the mix.

race started and i got out ok. top 5 or so. pace went out slow cause no one ever wants to lead the race. Ben Saarel was their but i knew his coach told him not to go all out because his main race was the 2 mile the next day, but i dont think anyone else knew that so they all sat behind him. ~1:07 next lap i started to move up and got better postion..race was going by really fast 1:06. third lap was the best one. people in front of me were ben, tomy (who led a bit of it), jake heslington, and franco. 1:05. at the beginning of the last lap i noticed ben and jake were starting to take off, so i tried to squiz inbetween franco and tomy to go with them cause i felt great, but franco didn't like that very much. he threw an elbow into my side and made me stumble to the right and i fell off them 5 meters. i was mad, and tried to start going again but it took me another 200meters and kramer passed me. it ended up being my worst lap: 1:09. ending with a low 4:27.

pretty disappointed. i'm positive i could've gotten a 1:04 finish, but whatever. its the first real meet and this race accullly gave me the confidence and break through i've needed the past month. i PR'd from last years 4:27 by half a second. i really feel i can go sub 4:20 now and i'm excited that i can run with these guys again! cooled down on casey's and byron's warm up 2 miles.

woke up excited. ate better than i usually do before a race. warmed up 2.25 miles before then did a lot of strides. my goal was a sub 9:27 (school record!) and i was confident i could. ben was going for the state record of 8:54, so if i was at the 200 when he was finishing i would be happy :)

race started and ben was off...never saw him again. it was mainly between me, jake heslington, assay, chuk, and other people i cant think of right now. pace felt very good. it was heslington and assay leading it, but it seemed like they were going a bit slow 4th and 5th laps. first mile went by fast and not much changed: 4:48 and i was mad they we were so off. i was really counting on jake to be on pace for a 9:20, but thats just how it happened. next lap i passed assay cause he fell of jake, who had a 5 meter lead. by the last lap he had pulled ahead by ten meters and i was mad i fell off those laps cause i still felt pretty good. i saw on the clock that i had to run a 1 min last lap to get the record so i took off as hard as i could and started pushing hard, i gained a little bit on jake but not enough, 9: 32, 1:05 last lap.

i was really bumbed i missed it was happy for the big PR and third place finish. but its not terrible. ben missed the state record by half a second, running a 8:55 :) didn't even seem like he was in the race! i'm sure i can get the record. really grateful for this meet.

later i race the 800 meter in the medley event. so i warmed up 1.5 miles then got ready. my teamates did well and i was in third when i got the baton. one i passed easily the first 200meters then i passed the next guy within 150 more. first lap was a 1 minute. i really wanted to break two. but the next 200 meters i really slowed down and didn't run fast enough. one of the guys caught me with 100 to go and he slowly started to pass me and i started to give up, thinking he got me. but then i thought about all the times i've done that and how it happened to me at nike and i surged back! we were neck to neck for the next 50 meters then i started to pull away and beat him ~.05! my legs felt like jello and i thought in my head i had broken two, but coach told me it was a 2:02. but thats alright, i was still very pleased with this race because i didn't give up and that was probably on of my best finishes i've had. cooled down with chuk 1 mile.

overall great weekend! i'm a much better runner than i was a year ago. this is a great start to the season and i hope it goes by slow. i really think my goals are doable if i work hard enough, want it enough, and have confidence that i can do it.
