morning- 3 easy

afternoon- did some running inside cuz of lightning, then went to bhnp and did the 2 mile time trial. i felt kinda flat physically again, but i think mentally i did pretty well. i finished with 10:58. alright, but i can do better.

morning- 3 easy to the spectrum

afternoon- .5 warmup then 6 easy with 8x100m strides. felt good today.

morning- 3 easy to hidden valley

afternoon- 2, drills, strides, 2x2 mile repeats at bhnp with 5:00 recovery, 1 mile cooldown. goal time was about 11:50, so not too fast. but it was definitely a good push. we hit 11:52, 11:50. kept the top 6 as a pack on the first one, top 5 as a pack on the 2nd. way nice stuff from everyone.

morning- 3 easy to the bridge

afternoon- about 3.5 easy up at the state course. great experience. i mentally prepared myself for that race, and i set some checkpoints on where to surge and hwat not. did some striders and stretching after, then ate at olive garden with the team, then played lord of the rings risk with the crew. great night.

morning- af grass relays. coach said if we took top 2 then he would do the workout instead of us haha. so we all got mentally pumped. the legs were spencer first, jaiden, me, josh, kale. so we all warmed up a bit then we each did some individual warmups. spencer went out and got us into about 10th, then jaiden pulled us up to 3rd (wow!) then when jaiden handed me the baton, i went out a little too hard on the first mile. there was a provo kid about 12 seconds ahead of me, and every time i passed coach he would yell how far back i was from him, so i had the provo kid ahead of me to push me, and there was a little lehi kid behind me who just totally glued himself to me. anyway, each time i passed coach he would say less and less seconds i was back, so i was closing the gap. by the time i was about 500m from the finish, i caught up to the provo kid and ran with him until there was about 400m left, then i kicked it into the gauntlet and handed the baton to josh. i brought us into 2nd place, and josh and kale held it, kale even closed some of the gap between us and american fork. this was an amazing experience, taking 2nd to a team like american fork. quite the privelege. not too proud of my time, but i don't even care considering  how well the team did. good stuff. ended the night by going to the hot springs by fillmore with the crew and coach thatcher. boston ate a live fish, it was great. amazing weekend.
