Be the team that goes hard on the last two

another eh race today. my brother got back from skills usa at 1 am this morning, so that woke me up and i couldnt go back to sleep after that so that sucked. warmed up and the stomach was heavy, should've had a tums. next time. did some strides, gun goes off and i get out right behind garek so thats good. about 200m in, jaiden goes in front of me and i chill there behind him and garek for the first mile. first mile for me was 4:48. second mile was a lot harder, the stomach started acting up and i was feeling the fatigue from the lack of sleep. josh and bryson go around me pretty soon here, and i maintain contact with them but they ended up outkicking me. i made a decent move with 1000 to go so thats a positive. crossed in 9:45.8. 2 seconds off my PR but not bad for having ran the mile yesterday. i was one place off of a medal so that kinda sucked. second mile was 4:56 ish. not a terrible race but i know i can do better. my lungs never burned during that race, it was just my legs and fatigue, so i have the lungs, once we start doing real fast speed i'll be right there and im excited to see what i can do. dhills had another good showing, jaiden was 9:41, josh and bryson were 9:43, and i was 9:45. matthew ran 10:23 so that will prob qualify him for byu maybe. also shoutout to the pv dudes for qualifying, mitch and preston good job. good stuff from everyone today.

on a side note, a good long haired canadian friend of mine once said that there are gonna be 8 races in a season that go like this: you'll have 2 races that make you want to kill yourself, 2 races that are just all out amazing, and 4 eh races. I've had my 3 eh races already; there's nowhere to go but up, cuz i don't believe in the 2 bad race part lol.
