Be the team that goes hard on the last two

decent race today. got back from the 2 mile warmup and the girls were like already done, so i couldn't do any strides or drills so that sucked. got to the line and the gun went off and i got out well, 100m in i started to settle in and i looked up front and saw eric lambert waaaay out there, no one went with him. i settled a little too hard, i slowed it down a ton, probably because at 200m in, i was still in front of Garek B so that was a little frightening. hit the first lap in 1:11, so 2 mile pace lol waaaaaay too slow. surged at 450m to get around ppl, got to about 5th place. hit 800m in 2:17, still pretty dang slow but i'm picking it up. at about 900m in, i surged up and passed nick and started gaining on jaiden and garek, i'm in 4th at this point. 600m to go and i start moving. nick passes me with 400m to go, same with josh. 1200 in 3:24, still slow. got to 200m left and bryson and josh went by me, i stuck behind them for a sec. got to 100m to go and i didn't wanna get beat my a sophomore so i started rollin' the wheels and caught bryson, and then caught eric with like 50m to go, and i almost got josh but he beat me by .25. finished in 4:30.3, so it's a 1 second PR and i qualified for state. weird side note, my grandpa took a pic of me well over the finish line and the clock timer said 4:29, so maybe unshoutout to holt's timing? hahahaha jk love u holt. desert hills had a good showing, jaiden ran 4:28, josh was 4:30.1, i was 4:30.3, and bryson was 4:30.7. also some of the youngins qualified for BYU so that was good. lessons to take from this one is to run my own race, don't be scared to be in front of garek and make the first lap super slow. good stuff from everyone today
