Today since it was regions we went for a JV team warm up. Since I was running JV today I took the JV boys on a 2 mile warm up on the regions course. We did the first 2 miles of the region course as a team slow. Then we went and lined up and did 6 strides. Since we had 2 boxes we were allowed our top 6 guys on the line instead of our top 3. I was on the line with Gio, Me, Gavin, Caden, Andy, and Someone else. The we line up and are ready. The gun goes off and my and one of the black guys go out fast, I wanted to go out fast and get in the top ten and see how long I could hold off being in the top ten. So we get out fast and the black guy is leading it and I am in 4th. There is a group of me, and 3 clearfield guys. So we make it up the first hill and we are all a group still. We go down Bessy fast as a group because I am feeling good. I am trying to get distance on them but they are staying with me. So we make it to the one mile mark and im still in 4th place. But right after the first mile they speed up, I asked one of them this isn't the pace were going at? He laughed at me and said NOO!! So they pick it up and I fall back to the pack behind. This group had Caden and Gavin. I run with them until the second time up bessy but then going down bessy Gavin gets ahead of us. Caden and I stay close until about mile 2. Then we both decide to pick it up and start passing people. I am feeling really good at this point. Then going up the hill near the back fence Caden gets ahead of me and I spend the rest of the race chasing him down. Caden passes the black east guy then I catch up to him. He is staying just ahead of me. But then when we are going up bessy for the last time I start really picking up the pace to get ahead of him. Going down the hill he is about 10 meters ahead of me then he starts kicking. Both him and me are sprinting as fast as we could Im ahead then he is then I am then he is. But then when I start getting good distance on him since he has longer legs he has a faster stride than me so he beats me by .03 of a second:( Then when I am done racing I quickly go put more clothes on and cheer. I did 1.5 miles cooldown some with Susannah cheering on the Varsity Girls and the Varsity Boys.
