Pm - Wow I'm feeling so sentimental writing this race entry. I warmed up a good 3 miles for the ocho. I didn't feel amazing, but pretty good. I got a good start in the race, pretty much right into second behind Richfield guy. I chilled right on him on the first lap then on the home straight where we had some unfortunate headwind. Took the lead with 400m to go like I like to, I was gunning for the win. Then with 250 to go Ike the freaking beast passed me and also Richfield guy. I dug some more and stayed with them. Stinking Ike just pulled away from us for the win. I didn't have the zip in my step to close like I wanted, but I'm glad I stuck in and battled Richfield guy to get that second place. Finished in 1:57, not a PR so overall I was fairly bummed.
4x 400m later, we kinda sucked, whatever. At least we didn't get our baton smacked away like Davis.
I always wanted to win a track state championship and get a 1:54 to beat our school record. At least I still got my Cross Country Title, and really, theres so much more important things in life than running races. I loved high school track and XC so much, so many awesome memories. Don't know for sure yet where I'm going to attend college yet, most likely USU or SUU since I have full rides to both. I'd love to continue running in college, but we'll see where I'm at after 2 years in El Salvador. Hopefully I'll still have the desire to run competitively. I'll run occasionally and blog it till I leave July 12th. Word out.
