​1600 was yesterday

 

​Man we really need to get our crap together and figure out this race. We always go out good the first two laps and then act like a bunch of pansies and die out. Really gonna focus on going ham at state and getting a sub 4:30. Third lap I've just gotta actually push no matter what.

After a very, very long day of AP testing, I'd say I did pretty good. I was shooting for a sub 9:30, but you don't always get what you want. I was in 3rd for the first 4 laps, about 10 meters behind some kid from Herriman named Adam (I only remember his name because EVERYONE there was cheering for him). 1st place was Talon Hull and he was way out of the picture... Anywas, I took the lead the 5th lap because we weren't going quite as fast as I wanted us to be going, and apparently I didn't really pick it up once I passed him. I just gapped him and then stuck a solid 1:13 pace for the last few laps. Really focused on form and such and Roberts said I looked super good. My ankle has been hurting the last few days and it was killing before the race, but luckily it went away as soon as we started racing. I don't remember twisting it or spraining it or anything, so I'm hoping it'll go away over the weekend. I am 100% rambling right now. Overall, not the outcome I was shooting for, but it felt very good for practically running alone. Plus I got a cool shirt for taking 2nd.

​Did some sick trail run in Draper. Ran up quite a ways and down through a valley and up to the top of the other side, and you could see into a valley and all of the giant mountains all over the place. It was epic. Then, on the way back we found a single track and hauled BUTT down that thing. like 5:20 avg probably. Had to stop every time some bikers were coming up. Only almost slipped twice. One was incredibly scary because I couldn't slow down and was running straight towards a drop off, and the other wasn't as scary looking, but it caught me by surpirse and a bad word that substitutes "poop" may have come out of my mouth as tripped... But it's okay because we ended the run at the temple and it was dope looking.
