Last workout before state. 600, 400, 200. 600 was 1:44, 400 was 74, and 200 was 29. too easy. The 400 was at race pace and I felt pretty good on the other two. I really think I can get ahead of Bingham's fourth at state, and I hope that's enough for  a second place team finish.

Today was state. They excused us from school all day so I got to sleep in until 8:00! At 8:30 we went over to Mikes house for breakfast. I had half of a waffle and a banana along with a small bowl of mini wheats before I went over. The Bus came at 11:30 and there was like a huge sendoff from the student council with balloons and paint and stuff. We got to the course and lied down until the 4A race, when we started warming up. We ran around and watched Conner Mantz rage on everybody before we got our spikes and went to the line. We did some strides then lined up, but they were intent on starting us at 3:30 so we just sat there for a while before they finally let us go.

I got out decently, and was probably midpack up the road and on the top. I did a lot of moving and just kind of followed these three Davis kids as we weaved our way forward. Going down the steep hill on the West side I passed the Davis kids and went up the hill. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I passed a couple people. At this point in the race I caught up to Mike, and we worked together moving down to the lake and got right up behind Jon. On the gradual hill on the far side we made a move and passed a bunch of people going down to the road. The only person that passed us the last half of the race was Skittles from AF, but they always just hammer the last mile. I was feeling really good until we got halfway around the lake for the second time, and I had to start really digging deep. Once we got onto the track I went past Jon and Mike, and I was trying to catch one more Davis kid but I couldn't quite get him. Jon passed me with about 20m left and got the Davis kid too. I came across in 16:19 and was so happy that I got my goal of 16:20.

We were waiting in the finishing area for the longest time waiting to see what we got while people were coming in. After Bingham's fifth came across it was official that WE HAD GOTTEN SECOND!!!! I can't describe how happy we all were, and I have never seen a more beautiful sight then our trophy being awarded to us. Final scores ended up being AF-44, Lone Peak-82, Davis-107, and Bingham-115. Afterwards we went to Pizza Pie cafe, and they gave us cookie monster on the house which was the most delicious thing I have ever tasted.

Ran with my new Kinvara 4's today and I like them a lot. We did 7 miles down into American Fork and back on the main road. I pushed the pace a little and everyone was getting annoyed with me, so I just kept slightly picking it up throughout the run. There was a beer bottle on the side of the road so I picked up and threw it at the fence. I got some on my hand which was annnoying because it smelled real bad, but the explosion it made was worth it.
