Two mile today. We got in a good warmup and the temperature felt nice even tho it was raining pretty good. Gun went off and Zack and I got horrible position in the very back, but moved up to the middle about 300 in. The race was huge so I ended up running in lanes 2 and 3 for the whole first mile. First mike went perfect to plan with splits of 70, 2:20, 3:30, 4:40. Next lap I also ran a seventy and came through in 5:50. Sadly at this point I started to fall off a bit and faded over the last couple laps to finish in 9:28. It's frustrating because before I got sick I was right with Zack and Jamison who ran 9:09 and 9:12 ( huge shoutout to them). I still PR'ed so I can't be too mad, and I feel like I'm getting stronger every week, so I just need to focus up and work hard and I know I can run around 9:20 at altitude when these big races roll around. Still a super fun race tho, really wet but I had a lot of fun. Afterwards cooled down with the Lehi homies and watched Casey win in 8:50. |
