Total Distance

PM- Herriman was hosting the Region Championships at our place so we didn't get to leave early but oh well. I at a lot of food throughout the day and made sure I was staying hydrated and fueled so by race time I would be in perfect condition to run fast. I watched the sprints and hurdles then went and headed out for my warm up. I did a mile and a half then a half mile of striders and then some idiot drills and headed to the line.

RACE: I took off in like 5th to last place and at the back stretch everyone moved away from the inside line so I was able to pass everyone and then catch up to Connor and Rory. I just stayed behind them for 3 laps because it was windy and I didn't want to be drafted off of. I stuck in behind Connor and let those guys do the work so I could save a bit. At 500m to go I pulled on Connor and started my kick, he hung with me for a while and I tried my hardest to get away from him and Jesse but I could feel them right on my tail. At 200m to go I was neck and neck with Jesse and Connor so I through down and gapped them by 20m in about 75m so I just settled back into my previous pace because I knew I was gonna get 3rd and I couldn't pass Rory or Austin Brower and I took a look back and saw that I was safe so I jogged it in. 

Connor actually let Jesse get 4th so he could go to state which was cool of him. I went and talked to some of my friends then went on a 2 mile cool down.
