Morning- Woke up feeling good. Ate a good breakfast. And went over to the high school with Byron, and Dave. Fun ride. Waited, and waited for my race... But warmed up pretty well. Did a lot of stride outs, and did some agilities. Then waited for the other heats to go. I was in the fastest heat. Pre-ranked 9th by time, and took 7th overall. So that's good. But one kid dropped out faster than me... So yeah....
Race Report- I started out good. First 200 came around 28ish. Jordon Cross starting throwing elbows, and pushing a DH kid. He almost tripped... Dang Jordon! Be nicer! And then came around the 400 mark at 1:01ish. And then I just told myself to speed up. And I did a little, but everyone was just going crazy already. The 500 mark I started to get tired... So I started my kick, because I was in the back pack. And I worked my way up passed a few on the back stretch, and then on the curve worked my way up more, and passed 2 kids on the straight away. But I had to get into lane 3, and 4 to pass them, Because they were taking lanes 1, and 2. But I sprinted it in barely beating Starley, and Sharp. I was pleased with my time. It was a P.R. indeed. Official time was 2:02.89, good race. 7th overall, 3rd from Pine View! Found out this is the best 800 crew we have had in a while! Time to make it even faster! But I am still going for state! Things to work on next race. Make the first lap a little faster, and then the second one stronger. But good race for sure! Happy with my time, and placing, just one place away from a medal! It's always 0. something, or 1 place!! >:( But I shall get a medal this season in track and field! I am very pleased with my running in the way it's going. |
