BYU today. I woke up and was still feeling dead tired from the night before, but I hopped in the car and drove down to BYU still hoping to PR and qualify. Right before the race I took a couple caffiene shots and I think they helped a bit. Gun went off and I got in good position. Came through the 400 in 64, then moved into second behind Heston Anderson. chilled there for the whole second lap and came through in 2:11. On the third lap I actually took the lead on the back stretch, then with 450 to go Alek Parsons and a couple other guys came past me. At this point my tiredness caught up to me and I faded. Still ended up running a 4:26 but I should have qualified :/. Cooled down 3 miles with Justin and Josh, and Justin barfed like three times haha.
Later did the 800 in the medley. It got windy and cold right during our race, and I wasn't too pumped. Ammon and Trey actually did a pretty good job in the 200's, then Colin dropped a couple spots in the 400 and I got the stick in 8th. I was a couple seconds behind Joe Benson, so I just told myself to try and catch him and I'd be happy. Came through in like 59, and caught Joe at the 500. Came through 600 and had a good cushion on either side so I just kinda coasted in. ended up running 2:02, but it felt really easy which was a good sign. Anyways, now Im gonna get good sleep and kill it at region.
