I ran in the Provo Rec track meet today. It was pretty hot. 81 degrees. As the annoucer said, "perfect weather". He obviously didn't know what he was talking about. JoJo, William, Stevie, MoMo, MiMi, and Bella also ran. MiMi and Bella ran first. Bella ran 9:15 I think. MiMi ran 3 laps and thought she was done, so she stopped. It took a couple of minutes to convince her to keep going. She ended up last behind Bella. The boys raced next. At the start a couple of things went wrong. First, I started in lane 3 behind a little kid so I had to do some manuvering to get into the lead pack, and second, my watch didn't start. After the first lap my mouth was really dry. I stayed with JoJo, Logan, and Sam through the first 2 laps, then they put a bit of a gap on me. I slowed down a lot in the last 2 laps, I wasn't feeling very motivated for some reason. I finished in 4th with 5:12. JoJo won in 5:02. That is a big PR for him. Sam was second with 5:03, and Logan ran 5:05 in third. William ran 5:50, Stevie ran 5:58. That is a big PR for him. MoMo mostly gave up after Stevie pulled away from him and ran 6:12. It wasn't a good race for me, but I'm okay with it. At least JoJo and Stevie had good races.
