Race: Great Southwest Classic 3200m (1.988 Miles) 00:09:40, Place overall: 3, Place in age division: 3
Total Distance
5.00

Woke up at like 9 and decided to not run because I didn't feel like it and because it was way too hot and dry and I didn't want to get dehydrated. We decided to go down to Old Town which is basically just a tourist attraction in Albuquerque. The Team Utah distance boys just hung out there for a while and then headed back to the hotel at 1. I got my stuff ready for the race and went and hung out with the Riverton guys before we left. When we got to the track it was really hot and we saw Jake win the mile which was his second win of the meet. 

I went and warmed up with the 3200m guys before our race and we talked about our strategies and how we wanted to do. I wanted to beat Luis Martinez and so did all the other guys so we were joking about having one of us trip him during the race and taking him out. I decided to just do the sit and kick strategy and see how it played out during the race. I wanted to make sure I was in good position with 600m to go. 

RACE: I took off and just stayed in like 6th the entire race. I wanted to medal so I just made sure I stayed in position so I passed people accordingly. The pace got slower and slower as the laps went along and we came through the mile in 4:45 which was really slow for some of the guys in that field. After a couple of 75's I decided to stop going so slow so on the last lap I passed 3 guys and put myself into 3rd and then tried to make up the gap from 2nd to 3rd but Connor had too much on me.

I finished in 9:40 which was really slow for me and my last lap was 70 seconds which I could do 7 of in-season. After cooling down and getting our medals I went and took some pictures then headed to the bus. Team Utah took 2nd behind Arizona and distance boys scored 97 of those points. Went and partied all night long at the hotel.
