Today was the JV regions over at Bountiful High School. I really wanted to do good so I was really going to push it. So I didnt get a very good warm up because the coaches never got us a bus so we had to bus pool with Highland. That was actually really fun. So I did a mile warm up with Caden then we sprinted to the bathrooms and then sprinted back and did drills, strides, and stretching. So then they called us to the line and we all lined up. So I got a pretty good place, I in lane one and on the front line. So I got out way fast for the first 200 meters but then I got boxed in so the second 200 was way slow. My first 400 was about at a 76 pace, which is way slow even for me. So then I was boxed in for the next 2 laps, I couldnt break out of it, they just kept moving everywhere I was and it was ticking me off. So on the last lap I just progressively kept getting faster and I didnt care, I just ran on the outside of the curve so that I could pass them, which I did. But my overall time was way bad. It was a 5:41 and I really wanted to PR today. I was way dead after that. So then I went over to the stands and I saw my mom and dad and they gave me some gatorade. So then Caden and I went over to the starting line again but this time it was for the 800 and I really wanted to do better at this this time. So we did strides and some stretching, while watching Chester be a perve and an annoying one at that groping Tania. It was sooooooooooooo annoying. So they called us up to the starting line and this time I was in lane 2 which is still OK. So the gun went off and the pace was set at quite a speedy pace for the first lap. We did a 67 first lap but it felt like it was a ton faster than that. So I was in 3rd place for the entire race except on the last 200 meters some Bountiful kid passed me so I stuck to him and we were sprinting it out at the last 100 meters and he passed me and beat me by .01 of a second. It made me furious. So then I was way dead. Bill wanted to make a 4X400 team so I ran inside the school and I did my cool down in the school. I did about a mile in the school with Josephine, Ricky, Javier, and I. Just by jogging along in the hallways. We got so lost in that school, it is so hard to find my way around that place..... DANG. So then we went up to the dance room and watched Josephine dance, but they had a few treadmills in that room so I did a half mile on that at a way fast pace. But I didnt care because there treadmills were way dope,,,,,, They had fans on them! It was way nice. Overall it was a way miserable day today. I didnt feel good at all from the beginning to the end. |
