AM- 3 Morning Mile. Me, Rory and Tommy got woken up way late this morning because our tent was way far away and nobody knew we were up there so we didn't get much preparation for the mile. We ran up to the starting line and I was feeling like crap, I was sick to my stomach and my throat hurt so I was just going for a little faster than last years time on this course which was a 4:51 putting me in around 15 seconds behind Connor. So when Barnes honked his horn to go we took off really fast and I settled in 3rd behind Jesse J. and Connor but I was feeling crappy so I didn't try to push the pace but Jesse dropped off and Connor started to slow so I took the lead and with a quarter mile to go and began to pull away from Connor. I started kicking with whatever was in my tank (probably nothing) and when I came across the line I felt like crap and I was thinking I would run like a 4:45 or 4:50 again, but no I ran a 4:25 beating the previous record by 11 seconds and beating Connor by 4 seconds giving me the fastest time on the course. We cooled down a mile afterwards with the guys and some of the girls.

PM- 9.1 Run to lava. This is the worst run we have ever done. Even though this is my third time doing I keep coming to camp. I hate this run more than anything but anyways we ran down the first two miles in about 11:30 which was really impressive considering our mile earlier that morning. Then we pretty coasted until the second water stop which was brutal but we kept our pace for a while. When we got to the water stop I took my GU which tasted really funky but good at the same time. We kept going and at the 2 mile left point Rory decided he was going to try and race so I just let him. I was feeling so crappy because of the heat that I was just trying to go fast enough to finish the run and at least finish sub 55 minutes. At a mile to go I finally decided to try and catch up to Rory and then at the half mile to go I blew past him and I came threw my last mile at a 4:52 pace which hurt like nothing I have ever felt. I beat Coach Brown's record who ran 55 high here two years ago when I was a sophomore Rory came in about a minute later (there was a bit of an argument over this because he thought it was less than that but I had a watch and he didn't.) We iced our legs in the water afterwards and then it started raining and thundering so we couldn't go swimming today :(
