5pm- Today I raced the 1600 meter first, and later the 3200. Me and all the JV's went to warm up before the race. We did a big loop around Canyon View and the surrounding area. It was 2 miles. i really wasn't very nervous for this race and i knew i could win the JV race. The race started and i got and good position. i felt much better than yesterday, I think because I had fueled myself much better today. The first lap was 1:10 i think, a little slower than I wanted. The second I was at 2:26 maybe? i dont really remember. I sure didn't feel as good as at BYU. i want to feel that good in a race again. i don't know why that race was so good. any ways I was in third going onto the back stretch on the third lap. I was so close to just quitting. But instead I made a little surge and kept my pace. I came around 3 laps in 3:44, barely on pace to break 5. So obviously my last lap was pretty good if i got 4:52. 1:08 like always. The cedar kid was still in first, with dhells in second, then me. I tried to push toward the d hells kid. but he kept going away and i passed the cedar kid right in the end and got second. Not a bad race, it was my second fastest.
8:30pm- The 3200. It was my only one of the season. my time was 11:10. ok i guess for a first race. i didn't really know what i was doing. Right away Jason started to pull ahead. I lead the chase pack for the first 5 laps. then some cedar kids and krenny passed me. the first half, I thought i might be going too fast. The on 7 laps I realized I could have gone faster. but i turned out ok and today was a good to to finish track with. This is the end of my freshmen career. THE END
