Today was the last race of track season for me so I really wanted to go out out on a good note. At Herriman they screwed up my time and said I ran a 4:38 which is ten seconds fast. So I was in the fast heat. I was the slowest one by seed time by 8 seconds with my real time. I warmed up a little talked to Maddie and Emily from AF, and watched Tommy beat Jon with a kick! Too funny to see Jon's face when Tommy beat him. I lined up in third to last between Zac Jacklin, and Daniel Bentley from AF. They told us the whole schpeel then fired the gun and we were off. I was in the back at the beginning, but was still was leading on a kid from Bingham and Caleb from AF. The first lap I followed behind Zac and Daniel and came through at 66. I couldn't hold on to them much longer after that and faded off of them a little, but still came through 800 at 2:17. The third lap I just followed behind Caleb on the straightaways because he was running in the second lane lane the whole time. On the back stretch the kid from Bingham surged ahead and I just didn't have the legs to go with him. Our 1200m split was 3:33. At that point I surged past Caleb and just went all out for the next 300m and passed the line in 4:42. I was too pumped for a six second PR. Afterwards I did a little cool down. |
