I ran in the USATF Region 11 Championships today, it was basically a repeat of state(same venue and same time), but it was about 10º hotter. JoJo, Stevie, and William raced as well. I started out running about on pace 82 for the first couple of laps. There were two guys ahead of me from the gun but I gained on them a little. I don't remember my exact splits, but they were somewhere around 3:30, 3:37, and 3:38 by kilometer. I felt good for the first kilometer, but the heat got to me after that and I couldn't go any faster. My time was 10:15. I got 3rd place(out of 4 people in my age division). I think I could've run 9:45 in optimum conditions. But it was a good race for how hot it was. JoJo ran 10:43, William 12:10, and Stevie ran 15:02. His foot was pretty bad.
