AM-Woke up and went down to the buffet for breakfast with Rush's dad and brother. I got French Toast and fruit for breakfast then went up to our room and packed. We got our stuff together and headed over to the meet. When I got there I got treatment from one of our trainers but she kept getting pre-occupied with other runners whose events weren't until after mine so I was almost late for my race. I warmed up a mile and then put on my spikes and did striders and headed to the line.

RACE- I took off in the first 300m and just got in 3rd place and came through the 300m in 50 seconds, I needed to hit 48 if I wanted to get my goal so I took the lead to speed up the pace. I got the pace back to wear I wanted it but I was already dead from leading into the wind so in the last lap 4 guys flew past me but I managed to catch one of them by the finish.

I finished in 4:14 which converts to roughly 4:31 which is 7 seconds slower than my high school PR in the 1600m. I was really frustrated after my race because my right achilles got really sore in the last 200m so I wasn't able to kick nearly as hard as I wanted to. I am tired of injuries and I just want to be back where I was 5 months ago.
