Utah Distance Challenge today. The past two years I've gone up by myself so it was nice to have teammates there this time. I went into this race with low expectations due to being sick and whatnot this week, so when they asked for people who have run under 4:30 to go into the fast heat I decided to decline and run in the second heat instead. The race started and I got out into the lead. I figured after the first turn people would come up with me, but nobody did. I ended up leading the entire first three laps, which sucked. On the last lap Talon Hull came past me amd I tried to hang on to him, but I was not able too. In the final staraightaway a bunch of people passed me which was a bummer, but I still ran a 4:33 which was faster than I thought I would run. Zack and Lil' Warner both ran big PR's running 4:32, and Jamison ran 4:36 which was cool. Everybody on the team PR'ed but me and Steven, but at least I paced some people to good times. Afterwards we cooled down, then did another cool down with Westlake which was fun. Overall when I look at it I think that when I'm not sick and I don't lead the whole thing, I think I am definitely in shape to run under 4:30 right now.
