So we got to the race and did some warm up on the track and then went over to see what heat we were in. We still had a while because they were running all six girls heats first. So we laid down on the grass with the AF guys for a little than headed out for a kind of warm up. We got back and got our numbers then waited in the bullpen area for a while. They finally let us do our strides then lined us up. I was number 8 so I had a pretty good position. The gun went off and I hopped to the back of the pack because I had the slowest time out of the whole race. I shouldn't have even been in that heat but I was running in Marc's place so it said I had a 4:45 PR. I was in dead last coming through the first lap in like close to 70 flat.The second lap I moved passed some guys and came through at like 2:23 I think. Our third lap slowed quite a bit but I passed one more guy. On the last lap I kicked it in and passed the guy from Lehi who had beaten me at every other race. 4:49 PR!!!!!!! Afterwards did a cool down and then stayed around and watched for 12 and a half hours! |
