Total Distance
1.50

Today was the second day of the UHSTCA Indoor track meet. So when I arrived at the oval, my team was just about to go and warm up so I quickly go and change my shoes and join them across the ice. We did 4 sets of all of the drills then we started the warm up. We did about 3 laps around the ice until the hockey people kicked us off because we were interfering with something. So we went downstairs and ran for 6 minutes just going around the place and we called it a mile. Then the girls got seeded so we went and got our spikes ready. They call they boys over to the bull pen so I got seeded in the first heat because Bill put my time as a 2:45 which is slow. 

When we went to go sit down to get our numbers, they told me my spikes were to long, so I told them that I would change them when we walked over their. So I asked the guy who shot the gun if my spikes were to long and he said no and he didn't care. So we line up and i was in seed 3 which is good because I new I could get a good time if I got out good but the guy who was seeded 1st was not there so I really was seeded 2nd. The gun goes off and we go. The guy who was seeded in front of me went out sprinting and I was thinking of going out with him but I knew he would die. Going around the first 400 I took the lead at 73 seconds. Then a big group of about 10 come up to me and we are all a big group going around the final curve to the final stretch. 5 of the guys in that group did outkick me but I did out kick a lot of them. When I saw my time I was pretty happy because my goal was to break 2:30 and I was only 2 seconds off of that. Then when I was done I cooled down by stretching and walking around the Nike outlet store because they had a really good sale on running stuff for Simplot:)
