I ran in the Provo Rec track meet today. I ran 4 miles in the morning then raced in the late afternoon. JoJo, Me, Wiliam, Stevie, MoMo, MiMi, and Bella ran the 1600. All age groups ran together, so there were about 20-30 kids. I ran the first 100 in 17 seconds to avoid getting boxed in, but there were a couple of kids ahead of me anyway. The first lap went well, at about 250 meters the kids ahead of me started boxing me in so I did some manuvering and moved to the front. Sam Clayton followed me. At 400 I had 74. I felt pretty relaxed. The next lap was good too, I moved into first at some point, not sure when. I had 2:30 high at 800. I was focusing on staying relaxed and calm for the whole race. I also didn't look back very much, so I don't know how my competetion was running very well. The next lap was slower, 80. I probably could have gone faster. In the last lap I think Sam was right behind me. I had a good kick, 76. My time was 5:06.7. Sam was 2nd, then Logan was 3rd. JoJo wasn't feeling very good, he got 4th with 5:20. William ran 5:44. Stevie and MoMo ran 6:06, Stevie was a bit ahead. MiMi ran 7:47 and Bella ran 9:20. It was a good race, I stayed calm the whole time and won the race.
