I woke up, ate breakfast, and headed to the bus at 7:30. There were a lot of the distance guys missing. We got to Timpview high school at about 8:15 and waited around, looking at the heat sheets and stuff while we waited for the meet to get started. It was supposed to start at 9:00, but they took over an hour to fix it, so we got started at about 10:15. First was the mile. We warmed up for a couple of laps and did a couple of strides before heading to the line. The gun went off and I made sure that I got off really fast so I wouldn't have to deal with moving around people right off the bat. I was in fourth at 200 where the lady called out 31,32. That was way too fast so I slowed it down a little and came through 400m in 70 seconds. At that point there was a couple people that passed me, so I just stayed on Mahonri's tail for the next two laps. On the last lap we started moving up and I tried to stay with Mahonri but I just couldn't. I still passed like three people though. My official time was 4:57.70. PR!!! Jon got second, Mahonri got third, I got sixth, and Tommy got seventh. So we scored a good chunk of points in that event. The two mile was not fun. Tommy, and Cole Gray had to leave before it so I was only person from Lone Peak in the race. I warmed up a little and headed to the line. The gun went off and the race immediately shaped into what it would be the whole time. three guys took off ahead while I stayed a little behind with some kid from Lehi. The kid from Lehi fell off hard after a lap and I was in no mans land for about two more laps until I started lapping people. I had no clue what pace I was going the whole time, because nobody was calling splits and there was no one around me. I just kept on churning out laps until on my seventh I saw the guy in third had faded off the front two. I kept picking up my speed until with about 200m to go I was only about 5 meters behind him, but then he started his kick while I had used up most of mine trying to catch him. I finished in fourth. Afterward Revelli told me that my time was 10:57. Another PR!!! And 5 points to add. The final score of the meet was Lone Peak 181, then second was Green River in 92. I had seven of those points! |
