Meet at SUU, their schedule was really weird with a "distance carnival" at the very end with the 3200m, 800m, 4x800m and a 2000m steeplechase all in a row. I started warming up for the 3200m way too early, so I ended up warming up around a total of a mile and a half over the course of an hour before it started. I ran the 3200m pretty well, my first lap was too fast and it cost me on laps 6-7, but I still ran an ok time of 11:55.52. Splits were 1:21, 1:29, 1:30, 1:30, 1:31, 1:36, 1:37, 1:22 or something similar to that and got 3rd place. I got to rest during the 4 heats of the boys 800m, then I had to run the 800m. My legs were so DEAD. I tried to have a good attitude, but it still sucked. The first lap was pretty brutal with elbows and getting cut off and such, I tried kicking the last 200m, but my legs were so shot that even my kick was not much of one. I got a 2:34.82 and 13th place. Ultra-yuk. After the 4x800m I got to run the steeplechase! My legs were feeling almost like legs again and I was so excited to run it. All of us running it were planning on going pretty easy, so none of us were even thinking of being competitive in it. The barriers weren't all that high (30"), but just to be sure I jumped really high on all of them. It was so much fun, especially the water barrier, even though it was kinda cold outside, it was so fun to jump in the water and keep going and do it again. Around the end of lap 3 and realized that I was in second, so I passed the girl in front of me and took the lead. Right before the last water barrier, a Timp girl passed me. After the last barrier, I all-out sprinted and barely passed her in time to get FIRST PLACE! Afterwards, the first 2 guy finishers, the Timp girl and I ran a victory lap and did a cannon ball into the water jump! We were drenched and it was so fun! My time was 8:03.76.
