Enjoy the run

It was nice to get back on my feet after my half, luckily I think I recovered well since Saturday.

2.5 miles pre meet.

After a really long car ride to Boise we got to the track meet we checked into our hotel then went to the meet. I warmed up with Tyson, Conner, Ethan, and Kyler. Ethan was in my heat for the 2 mile so we paced well off of eachother for the race. I don't remember my splits but I was running really consistent the entire race. Ethan and I slowly kept passing the people that were slowing down a bit, I tried to make a big move on Ethan to try to get him behind me so with about 600m left I surged. I thought I had made a good move on him but it turns out he wasn't far behind me and he out sprinted me by .03 seconds in the last 100.

Later that night Tyson, Kyler, Ethan, and I had a 4x800m relay. I wasn't planning on doing it but I was alright with running I figured Tyson wanted to get a good 800m time because he wouldn't have time to run the open 8 on Saturday. We lost track of time so when I warmed up it was short and sweet. I think I hit about 2:18 for my 800 split which isn't bad but I feel I can be a much better 800 runner.

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.
