Had an awesome time at Region today. First off Huge shout out to Jamison, and Lil warner for qualifying for the mile. Even huger shout out to Galen who had the sickest kick of all time outkicking Thomas Heaps and Ryan Raff to place 4th and qualify for state.
Then my 800 finally came around after a good amount of warm up. The first heat went and they called us out to the line. Then they told us to take 2 steps back. Then mr. starter went over to where he shoots the gun and someone started talking to him. He then came and and said lightning delay. AAAAARRRGGGHH!!!! it was so annoying. We waited 30 more minutes for lightning delay. So we had to warm up again. Got a good amount of miles on my 2 warmups combined. Then they called us back out and we got back on the starting line. Then we took two steps back and he called us up and then shot the gun..... and sean hagert went down in the first 100 so it was recalled. Then we did it again and we finally got to race. It was fun. I was in last place for the first 250 meters cuz I was so chill and I wanted a more even pace. I then sped up a little and came across at a 62. Then I started going and picked off people one by one except I had let myself get too far behind because I was unable to pick off the number 4 place which is what I was going for. Oh well.
Shout out to Connor Baller for an awesome 800 race.
