Am - Got to the track and waited for a while tI'll about 9:30. We watched our girls race, then warmed up 3 miles. Did some strides and wow my new spikes feel so good.
Started the race and Will from Timp went out quick into the lead, on his way to 9:10! I ran with Joe from Timp and Eric for the first mile, then Joe pulled away and Eric fell back. Then I was running with the younger Benson and Mckay. First mile was 4:51. My 6 & 7 laps sucked, I could been under 9:40 if I'd of done good stuff right here. Got going the last lap and a half cause Carson almost got me. With 250 to go I started kicking hard, I was in 5th and wanted the 3rd place medal so bad. Passed two guys into 3rd, then ran out of gas and got passed back. 9:49, I state qualified. Not a great race but I don't care, I hate the 2 Mile and luckily I probably won't have to run it again.
Went and cooled down and did 4x1 minute hills for 3 more miles.
