9am - Today was a very fun and positive race for me. We got to AF high school at like 7:30 and we ran around till about 8:15. All us boys ran down to the busy part of town to warmup and to go to the bathroom. I would say we overall warmed up about 4 miles. I hadn't really even realized that I was actually racing till I woke up that morning. We got lined up after the girls race and the AF coach started the race. I got a good start and moved up the whole first mile trying to push the pace and pass people. I was with Abel and Colton about the whole race. I just was pretty positive the whole time. I just stayed with Abel and didn't let him get away. I just try not to let up on my effort. The second mile my belly was hurting but I kept going with Abel and Colton. I think I do a lot better in races like this where theres no pressure. When people get talking to me and telling me to race hard and do my best I just get more nervous. Anyways the last mile was hard and Colton started to fall back from me and Abel. We got more speed with a half mile left and the last 400 I was just trying to beat Abel but he had too much speed and he beat me. He really helped push me this race even though he didn't really do anything. After we cooled down a mile around the course. I got about a mile later coming home exploring the great back country of Utah with Paul, Krenny, Jake, and Trevor.
