15 warm then race then 25 cool
Missed the school record by 1 second.. rats. Definitely the best race of my life. Coach got after me yesterday for sitting back in the mile and being a wuss, and it added to my already super determined spirits for the 2 mile today. I woke up this morning ready to run the best race of my life. It's like I knew that there was no way I could possibly do bad. Started out and just decided to stay with the front group of guys the whole time, and if they slowed the pace down, I would take control and make it my race. This definitely did not happen, and you could tell by our 4:45 firts mile (Faster than Julien's mile yesterday in the actual mile race hahah). I started to get tired at the end of lap 5 so I took the lead and tried to recover just a bit, and the other guys did also and they passed me back 200m later, but it definitely helped. I honestly don't think I've led a single race this whole season, so it was defs different. 500 to go and Jensen and Caleb took off, and Jaden kind of did but his wuss power activated and he decided that he couldn't catch them so he kinda just chilled. I picked it up and tried to kick it in the last lap, and I was hurting. Jaden kept on sprinting then jogging, and I caught up to him jogging with 100 to go and fought until about 20 meters left and died hard, and he got a couple steps ahead and turned back and looked at me and lifted up his arms as if to say "Really? That's all you've got?" Definitely almost punched him in the face but my good soul told me not to. Overall a freaking beast race and I'm not even that sad that I missed the record because I know that I'm gonna throw down in XC and follow through to destroy in track next year. Overall a super dope season and I'm proud and thankful for everyone who helped me along the way. See you in two weeks.
