Today I raced the two mile at the Utah County invite at Lehi high school. Our warm up was all jacked up because of confusion about how many girls heats there were, but it all turned out ok. I was laned up in the second alley next to Koy Moore an Gibby from Westlake. The gun went off and I didn't get the greatest start, and wound up in the very back after everybody cut in. On the backstretch I moved up to the back of the front pack and settled in. On the third lap Zac Jacklin fell hard and I had to go out to lane 5 to get around him. I felt bad for him but he got back u and passed me within 200 meters. The rest of the race I was just trying to stick with Daniel Bentley and Gibby, and I did until the last 600 or so. For some reason I just felt like I had no kick and ended up getting passed by Owen Gardener. Oh well, I got a PR by 4 seconds which is always nice and little Warner ran 9:53 which was a 13 second PR also. My pacing was a little better than last race, because we still came through at 4:50, but this time I was at least able to close sub 5. Afterwards I cooled down for a while and watched the rest of the races. |
