Last Region meet today. started out with the mile, it went ok. Definitely not what I was looking for, but whatever. First three laps were fine, splits of 65, 2:11, 3:18, then my butt tightened up and I felt like I just couldn't run fast. I watched the other guys pull away and it was kinda sad. FInished in 4:27. Next up was the 800. I had like 30 minutes and I tried to stretch out as much as I could. Strides felt really hard, but I still wanted to race. Gun went off and I immediately wemt to the back, probably about 12th place. I just chilled there the whole first lap and came in around 59 or 60. Second lap I realized I wasn't as tired as I thought I was and Craik and I kicked past like 5 guys in the final 250 and finished in 1:59 for him, and 2:00 for me. Got seventh overall. I think if I had gone out faster I couldve been in the hunt for qualifying, but I'm happy with a PR. Not quite the region meet I wanted, but now I am hungry to go run fast in the 3200 at state.
