Nebo invite today. We left 1:30 and didn't race until 6:30, so we had a lot of down time before the race. We explored the school, played a couple good games of risk, and I even got a good hour long nap before we went to warm up. The gun went off and I made sure to get out good because there was a nasty bottleneck. I got off the field in about twentieth which was good because Jamison, justin, and some of the other guys said that it was crazy in the pack and people were falling and getting spiked left and right. There was a lot of pushing and moving the first 800 or so, and I wound up in about seventh place behind a pack of AF guys and Christian. I stuck with them for a while but at about the mile they surged ahead of me and I wound up running by myself for another half mile. Eventually Lil' Warner caught up to me and we ran together until the track with 100 meters left. On the track Lil' Warner took off and caught a couple people, but I with my not so great kick got passed by two Desert Hills guys and Joe from AF. I hate losing to Joe more than just about anybody else, but overall I was very pleased with how my race went. The results didn't have team scores, but I think we got third, maybe fourth. |
