Today was another tri meet at East. Since I needed to do more miles today than I would normally on a race day I decided to get out of class early. I started with a half mile warm up alone, then did another half mile with Caden then the stretching circle. Then I did a mile warm up with Tania then we did some drills. Then as Tania was racing in the mile I was jogging on the inside of the track so I did a mile of that. Then since I wasn't running for like another hour I decided to go get a good cheering spot and cheer. Then they called 800 meter runners to go to the start line but not line up. So I decided to do another half mile warm up of grass laps then go to the starting line for the boys 800. They had two heats of the 800 because there was so many people signed up for it. I put my self in the second heat because I wanted to get a good spot up front and stay up there. So they called my heat and we were at the starting line. So since Dylan was faster than me last year we put him first, then some new kid that has not run in forever second, then me which was weird. Tony told me whatever heat I am in to get in the 3rd or 4th position for the 1st lap. So the gun went off and I started out way fast, well it felt fast to me. I started the race in 3rd place for the first lap. My first lap time overall was 68 seconds. Then on the second lap, since that is the one that is really the lap you need to be passing people I started to pass the people in front of me. But at the about 250 meters to go, I totally lost it. At this time I was the first person from east which was cool. But thats where Dylan caught up to me and passed me. By about 100 meters to go, some Bountiful kids crept up behind me and blew right pass me and Dylan. I almost caught up to Dylan but he finished like 5 meters in front of me:( But today was a PR in the 800 by 10 seconds with a total time of 2:26.20. Then I was going to do the 2 mile but Bill was having everybody do the 4*400 so I decided to do that instead to get more speed. I was in Caden, Anders, and some Asian kids group. My group had a horrible start, and we ended last. I was 3rd in my group with a lap time of 68 seconds. I didn't do the 2 mile because the 4*400 was right after that and I thought I needed more speed than the distance. So by this time I was at 5 miles. Then I came home and ate a Taco while watching American Idol. Then I went on the elliptical and did 3 miles while reading Night for my Language Arts class. |
