Super fun race. I probably didn't prepare the best I could have, because I went to the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club concert the night before, and in typical Twilight series fashion I inhaled a lot if secondhand smoke and probably danced too hard. Anyway after the concert I met up with Jamison, lil Warner, and Justin and we set up our hammocks in a little grove of trees about 200 meters away from the start line. We woke up at five(four hours of sleep) and headed down to warm up and go to the bathroom. The gun went off and lil Warner and I got a decent start. After about a quarter mile we settled in with Alek Parsons and Garrett Barton from Ogden, and stayed with them for the first two miles. Alek had to stop and tie his shoe twice in the first mile haha. First three mile splits were 4:58, 10:00, and 15:20. At this point Alek and lil Warner started pulling away from me, and the rest of the race I was running by myself. I dropped off the pace in the next couple miles and just tried to hold on. In the last 50 meters I got out kicked by Ryan Raff which kind of irked me, but I was happy with my time, and it was a really fun race. Lil Warner ended up runnin 32:15, Jamison ran 33:39, and Justin ran 34:35. We got second in the team race behind Ogden, but I think we would have won if they scored five. |
