Am - Easy 4 in the morning.
Pm - Left from pvhs to go up to Murray for the murray invite. Got to Murray Park around 2pm and soon after ran the course wit a lot of the guys. I seemed pretty cool but confusing at a lot of places too. Chilled in the shade for a bit then ran a little more 30 minutes before race time. I felt pretty good.
Started out strong, a little faster than I like to cause you gotta get good positioning in big races, ya know. First mile went pretty quick. I felt a little off kinda because the last two races I've done have been 2 miles. In the second mile I felt kinda tired, and was sticking in with a group that fell a bit off the leaders by 2 miles. Ha, except Garek he was already out in narnia. I was kinda scared i would be too tired for the last mile. But starting mile 3 I was feeling good, so I made a move and broke out of the pack I was in. I gained some on the lead pack, and coulda caught them if I had 400 more meters. I ran mostly all alone the last mile and finished up 12th. Im pretty happy with how I did. I'd say my mistake was not trusting my strength to stick on the front pack. Then I could have out kicked some guys and got a t-shirt! Ahh, it's good though, just gotta keep racing and getting better at it for state.
On team terms we did good. After I finished I looked back and was a bit worried when I didn't see our guys for a second, then our 2,3,4 all rolled in. Then our 5th was way back and that killed us. I guess that's what happens when 3 guys have bad days. We finished around 10 points behind Lone Peak in 4th. Good vibes though man, I love our team. Except maybe how Preston is a freakin weirdo with the davis girls, smh. Lol, some of the things he does. . .
