Am - easy run, felt pretty good. Wore my early birthday present, garmin 225. It's pretty sick.
Pm - Region today! Had a good day and was pretty well physically prepared. Honestly didn't have my best mental do us today, I know just what I need to do at state. Race was in Cedar at bicentennial park. I got 2.5 warmup and got loose and ready to go.
Race started out good, a bit quick but really right where it should be, 5:07. I was right up with the hellians, things were going good. I wasn't feeling as strong or relaxed in my breathing as I had hoped. I was doing good working where I was, until about 1.5 Jaiden and Josh from DH pulled away and I just let it happen. I can not do that, especially when like josh only finished like 10 seconds ahead of me! So yeah from 1.5 to 2 miles I really just lost focus. We all promised each other we would surge at 2 miles, so I was able to pull it together and give a strong 600m or so, then I really lost focus again. Dallin passes me, then sage and spencer encouraged me, but I never responded until coach holt yelled at me and I pulled it together and busted my balls one last time. I zoomed passed those three, then gained on jaiden till I blew passed him with 75m to go. That musta awakened him cuz then he passed me back right after and I finished in 3rd place. Time was slow, the whole race was kinda weird.
State in one week, I know what I need to do. Our team was the closest we've been to DH all year, we're gonna go get em. I'm glad I was able to have a strong kick, something I haven't really had all year, I'm sure tapering is bringing that out. 7 miles total on the afternoon. Fall break starting Thursday, ahhhhh yeah.
