Today was a tri-meet against Skyline, Murray, and Westlake. I was to run the 3200m and the 800m. For the 800m, I felt good taking third for the first lap them I started to move, first lap was a 67 ( I felt like I had wings not legs) then I passed the second place Murray kid, I was closing the gap on the first place Westlake kid in the last 200m but he looked behind and was able to keep my about five feet away from him, we came in about three feet away from each other. Westlake with a 2:14 and me with a 2:15 so a 5 second drop from UVU invitational so that was great. The 300m hurdles were run next then the 3200m so I had 8 minutes to get ready to run again, I ran around about two laps to rid myself of any lactic acid, then I did a few minutes of balistic stretching, 8 minutes later I am on the start still breathing from the 800m.(By the way this was my first time running a 3200m so I was excited) The race starts and my and another person from Skyline break out, we instantly split from the pack and ran a 75 first lap,(good) I held with Skyline kid for two laps then I broke away, I was now running alone in an event I have not run yet so I slowed down (I need to learn to keep my pace) my first mile was a 5:29 (bad) so I tried to speed up, I managed a 77 my next lap by slowed down again, I then won the race (100m ahead of everybody else) with a time of 11:09. Go ahead laugh. This I beleive is an okay time to start with to chip away from to reach a 9:59 so I believe a few weeks of work is ahead (ya). So first place and second and I set a new PR in each event so good day.
