Today was the second day of time trials. We started with the 800. I have never been good at the 800, and I really don't like it. We lined up and I started pretty good, I was in third coming out of the first turn but on the backstretch Jon and Mike passed me. I Just made sure to not lose that front pack and they pulled me through the 400 in 63. On the second lap I just made sure that Jon didn't get too much of a gap on me and I actually almost caught him at the end, but in the end he beat me by like a tenth of a second. I finished in 2:08 which was a one second PR from the 4x800 at the ice oval which was nice. About 15 minutes later we were supposed to race the two mile, but none of us wanted to go very hard so we took the first mile out in 5:54. Tawny and Ryan were getting really mad that we weren't trying, so they told us if we didn't break 11:00 we had to do 800 repeats after so we picked up the pace considerably. Clayson did the next one in 4:50, and Mike and I did it in in 5:00, making us the only three that went under 11. Nobody else had to do extra repeats though because I think Ryan kind of meant if Mike and I didn't do it then we ruin it for everyone. It was kind fun to go out slow and finish fast like that. It was the easiest 5:00 i've run. Afterwards we icebathed in the river.
