After taking yesterday off I still felt a little sore during today's workout. It was 5 400s at R-Pace. Me, Sylvan, and JD drove up to the deer fence and met Mark to do them on a very steep hill. I was struggling on the hill and also didn't want to push that much. I plan on doing something easy tomorrow to get back in form with the footlocker race pretty close.

Was a very busy day so I had to stop by the gym and get my run in on the treadmill. I went T-pace to make up for the short distance.

We stopped at St. George to do our run. It was warm and we went at a pretty fast pace on the run, mainly because we were running the Mountain Crest kids.

Regardless of my place or time, this was not the best race I've done. Probably the worst I've done strategically. That said, I think they messed up my time because as soon as I got on the track I was at 17:20 and I'm pretty sure I didn't run 300 meters or less in 1:17. After the race was over they posted unofficial results on a board and had me at 17:40. But these are the official results so I'll just go with these to motivate me more.

I started the race with a pretty good start that put me at around 30th. My goal was to stick with Zan for the whole race so I had no strategy besides that. We did two loops for the first mile and I was looking for him and keeping my place the entire two loops. Finally on the first hill I found him but it seemed like he was on to me cause he blew by me fast. I saw him for like 10 seconds and than he disappeared in the pack ahead, he ended up finishing int the top ten. I wasn't quite sure how fast I was going, so I just stayed where I was. I then realized that I was going too slow on the second hill, which was the steepest and decided to surge up it. Dumb choice. I blew all my matches on that surge and only moved up around ten places. I started getting passed by a few people on the back stretch and once the third hill came I blew up. I was pretty close to walking on that part. My legs were really heavy. It is here were I got passed by the most people. The last 800 meters I still kept getting passed but once on the track I found some new life and actually picked up my pace.

Overall it was definitely not my best race but I'm glad the season was over. Jerrell missed out on qualifying by two places but he still beat his last year's time here by a minute or so. Conner had an amazing race, making it to nationals! My cool down was running around watching these guys race. I probably should have done what Conner and Zan did by starting off slower. The trip was fun though and I'm still glad I went.
