I was really annoyed with my time for the 1 mile and 2 mile at Boise because they both were barely over 5 and 11 min. I warmed up with Kyler, Conner, Tyson, and Ethan then we watched the girls run their race. Ethan was in my heat for the mile again so this time my goal was to try and beat him. I went out slow for the first 200m of the race, I felt boxed in and I almost tripped a couple of times. I just tried to hold on and hit my pace. With about 600m left I saw that Ethan and most of the pack was in front of me so I decided to surge. I picked up the pace and held it really well, I just didn't want Ethan to beat me again. With 200m to go I realized that I had to run a 33 sec 200m to break 5 min. I kicked it well but ran a 34 instead. Overall I was really happy with this meet I feel good with my times this early in the year and am excited for Simplot.
