We got there a few hours before my race, so it was nice to sit around for a while. We set up camp right next to PG, which was nice. My race: My first mile was 6:05, but i thought it would be around 6:40. I was right with max and zack, and i didn't notice this for a while. i freaked out when i saw them and surged for a good 200 meters. Parker ran his first mile in 5:45, and after that he jogged the rest of his race. On the third lap parker stayed with me, and i put in one of my weakest kicks ever but still beat him by 10ish seconds. My anlke was hurting the whole time. Itook some ibuprofen before, but i don't thinkit helped me much. This makes me really mad, because I still PR'ed, but i had a decent race, with a stress fracture. If i can have a good race with no injuries, i could have been more than a minute faster today. Before i hurt my knee, i was tailing craik in the summer, who ran a 17:13. I can be sooooo much faster. The varsity boys race was super exciting, especially the top 3 finish. Garek showed everyone what a kick should be. I still can't believe that casey won! Our team came in 4th behind af, desert hills and provo. When we were leaving i couldn't find our bus and i almost got a ride with the AF team. Thankfully i found seth who knew where the bus was. Not a bad day, but i know i can do so much better.
