Today's race sucked. I was really looking forward to it, but my stomach was just raging the whole time and it just felt way harder than it should have been. The race went off and nobody was running very fast so when I went through the mile at 5:10 I was only 5 seconds behind the leaders. The second mile I just died. Coming around the tennis courts my stomach just clenched up and I just tucked in behind Jon. The two mile split was 10:36, which means the second mile was a 5:26 which is no good. The last mile I passed Jon and just ran with Mahonri all the way to the finish. Time and place weren't what I was hoping for but whatever, we qualified for state. We lost to Westlake, but Clayson was taking it pretty easy and we have the advantage in a bigger race. Now I just have to prepare myself for state.
