Better race than usual. I was being a wussbag and didn't pass the 2 dudes in front of me at the end, and I waited until Bryson got up behind me and I outsprinted him. D-bag move I'd say. Either way, I beat him..
Ran super well with Alex and Nathan for the first mile. Connected with Spence and he was having a super good race. Alex and I passed him on the uphill and kept pushing up. Did really good in our surge zone, which was that whole top section. When we came back and turned the corner, Alex slipped and fell down the hill. I kept looking back for him and Coach yelled at me lol. He ended up catching up but eventually fell off. I pushed up and caught Josh Armstrong from Hurricane once I got to the track. He wouldn't give up and we pushed up to Bryson and some Timp View dude by the time we got to the downhill sidewalk. Bryson Josh and I fought all the way down the sidewalk, and Bryson kinda fell off at the end of it. Josh pushed hard up that hill and got in front of me by the track. Then I acted like a wuss and whatnot and didn't cath them.
Overall a good race for me. After sucking it up at Bob Firman this made me feel pretty good about myself. We barely won the meet by 3 over DH and 6 over Hurricane. This just show that we have a lot of work to do if we want to win State. Like it isn't going to come easy. Caleb is freaking beasting it, and I think I need to be somewhere near him if I want us to place better. He ran like a 14:47 at the region course for the Hurricane meet, so I'm hoping to go sub 15:00. I just gotta figure out all of the stress and stuff in my life so that I can run to the best of my ability.
