I ran a USATF track meet today. It was in Nephi. We had some trouble getting there. Dad drove William down early so he could do long jump, the plan was for Mom to drive Stevie, MoMo, Bonnie, and I to the race later, but our van's brakes broke so she couldn't get us there. Luckily Dad was able to drive back home, pick us up, and get us to the race. We got there pretty late though so Stevie and MoMo missed there race and Bonnie and I only had a couple of minutes to warm up. Bonnie and I ran the 1500. I started out with Cole and Truman. We ran 70 for the first lap. I slowed down to 75 in the second lap. The third lap was 77 and I ran 57 for the last 300. My time was 4:40. That is an 8 second PR. For some reason it didn't feel like a real race, and I was hardly tired at all afterwards. It was weird. I was third behind Truman and Cole. Cole got another State record with 4:24. I was close to Truman, he ran 4:37. Bonnie ran 5:39. William jumped 3'71 in the long jump. That is pretty good, it was the first time anyone in our family has done a field event. Later in the evening Stevie, MoMo, and William ran the 1500 at Orem High because they missed their races. I was supposed to pace William but Stevie was ahead so I paced him. I ran the first lap in 85, Stevie was right behind me, then we ran 87 or 88. William was behind with MoMo. Our next lap was 87, Stevie and I had 4:00 flat with 400 to go. He ran 5:28. That is a huge PR for him. He ran 5:58 in the 1600 last week, so this is a very big improvement. MoMo slowed down a lot when he saw Stevie pulling away. I don't know what time he ran. William was sore from long jump, he was a bit ahead of MoMo. Benjamin ran the Utah Valley Half Marathon. He had a good race, 1:06:33 in 4th place. We hired a motorcycle driver and cameraman to film him. This is the video of the last 2km of his race:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6eQtITh3XM
