12:30pm - Pretty fun day and a good race. I was very confident heading into this and I was really hoping to go under 2 minutes. at about 11 all us 800 guys and coach went on a 2 mile run. Then as i waited for my section to be called to the bullpen I ran on the grass about a mile.
On the track I was 1st seed. they fired the gun and then again cuz flippin Abel false started. I felt bad for the guy. He was DQ'd then the race started for reals. I got out in a good position with a group of about 5. 1 kid from Alta was up front a bit. I stuck behind these guys for the first lap which was 60 seconds. I made my move here and passed the whole group. The Alta kid was about 5-10 meters up with 300m to go. I worked some more on catching him and was right behind with 200 to go. I surged 1 more time at 100 to go and I went for the pass but he heard me and kicked it in. right at the end another kid from alta passed me and I got 3rd in my heat. I finished in 2:00.14. At first I was pretty dissapointed cause I really wanted to run sub 2, but later I realized that I actually ran a decent race and qualified for state so I was happy.
I was going to run the 800 on our medly team also but Abel did since he got DQ'd from the open 800m. Me, Matt and Jason ran over to the Smith field house and ran a mile in there. So that was 2 miles. 5.5 miles for the day.
