Adam's Running

Had a sprint workout today. 4,2,2,1,1,1,1. Pretty dang easy. Cooled down for a couple miles to the time machine.

3 easy miles before region tomorrow.

Got to leave school today at 11:00 which was pretty sick. got there about 12:30 and sat around playing cards and stuff for two hours and then we started warming up it came a lot faster than I thought it would. We lined up and I was the sixth seed.The gun went off and I immediately got boxed in at like 12th place. at 200m I finally got out and caught up to the leaders which was two AF kids and Mike. One AF kid just took off and we never saw him again. Then I just hung behind Mike for a while. Then with 800m to go I passed Mike and the AF kid I was second coming in at 200m when another AF kid came tearing by me. I tried to follow but couldn't. MIke got me with 50m to go and we both sprinted to the finish. I thought that I got him at the very end but we will never know who actually won, because he just gave his sticker first. final results said we came in at 10:28.84 and .86. Afterward watched Tommy PR and get 10:10. Cooled down and waited for Pole Vault to get over which took forever. 

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. 

Golf course run.

Ran Hog's Hollow today with David because his mission farewell is tomorrow. There was seven of us that met at Legacy at seven. I got to say it got me too pumped for summer Cross Country. I forgot how rough it was going up but it was too fun at the same time. On the way down when we were flying down the trail I almost biffed a couple times but it never actually happened. We met Adam at sliding rock because I guess he had forgotten to set his alarm. The water was so cold and I almost slipped climbing up the rock way but I got up fine eventually. I had never done it before so it looked to sketch when you see them flying down this waterfall bouncing off the rocks and everything. I was second to last and I went it surprisingly didn't hurt at all. The bad part was when you hit the bottom and are completely submerged in the water. I came up and it was so cold. I got my shoes on and we ran back down to Legacy. I got to say, I think this is my favorite run we do.
