Got to the race at about 8:30 and sat around for a while before warming up. Gun went off and I got decently, tucking in with the chase pack. I just kind of followed those guys and we came through in 68, then 2:21, then 3:33, which were almost exactly my splits from yesterday haha. At the mile we came through in 4:45, and it was just down to me and Connor, with Zack Jacklin, Will Handley, and Joe Benson all a bit ahead of us. I just kind of sat behind Connor for the next two laps, then went ahead with 900 left and took us through until 400 to go he took off. I tried to hang on the best I could but my kick really sucked. I ended up barely outleaning Ryan Raff at the line who came up from behind really sneakily. It was a pretty fun race and my first PR in the two mile since this meet last year. I have been really off in my races lately so it was good to finally get back on track so to speak. I also know I can run the qualifying time next week at Davis or at BYU hopefully. Shoutout to Connor Baller because Timo kept mixing us up while we was commentating, and for pulling me to a PR. Also shout out to to Justin for running 10:01.
