Dual meet with Lehi today. I was originally planning on doing the 4 and 8, but ended up pacing Justin in the mile instead of the 4. Ryan said that if I paced Justin I had to run at least a 4:45. I didn't really feel like going very hard today so I ran 4:44.8 which was exactly what I wanted. It didn't feel very hard, and I would have gone for the win but my left leg started cramping up in the last 200 and I backed off of it just in case. Justin ran 4:47 so my pacing duties were successful. A little later I did the 800. I went out too slow and wound up in second to last after 100 meters. My first 200 was a 34, and was my slowest in the race. After the 200 I started moving up and passed a bunch of people. With about 300 to go I moved into 3rd behind Connor and Sean, and held it until about 50 to go a couple passed me. I ended up getting 2:09 which isn't bad, but isn't good either. Once we start really hitting speed workouts I know I can get into the 2:02-2:03 range. Afterwards we went and did a quick little workout of 4x2 minutes hard with 1 minute rest. I felt sluggish on the first couple due to the 800 just before, but the last 2 felt good and we were going pretty fast.
Shoutout to Connor and Matt Todd for some good fun in the 800, and also to Preston Warby for wearing a Lone Peak shirt today.
