Race: Bob Firman Invite (3.106 Miles) 00:15:58, Place overall: 13
Total Distance
6.00

Warmed up around the course and ran on the sand to practice for the race. I was staying really positive and I felt like I might be able to place top 10 or even 7th. I knew on a good day I should be pretty close to the leaders. Went and got my spikes on and headed to the start and got our lane assignment, by the luck of the draw Mountain View got the box right next to ours and we talked to them a bit.

RACE: I got a pretty bad start because I got pushed into Orems box by Mckay but they aren't that fast so I didn't have to much trouble getting around them. Rory and Jaydn got great starts so I had a lot of ground to make up. I had to pass just about 100 people to get in position with Rory. We worked together for the next mile to pass some people and we caught like 5 or 6 but 3 passed us. At around the 2 mile point I pulled away from Rory and began to chase Jaydn because I didn't want to lose to him again. Brayden Cromar from Davis got up with us and I had a hard time losing him but once I did I was pretty much home free except for Jaydn and Ricky Faure. I pulled away from Jaydn but couldn't get away from the 1:53 800 runner (Ricky) who passed me in the last 150m putting me in 13th.

Afterwards we went on a cooldown and we passed Davis who thought we were Highland (or they were just being jerks). We talked about the race and pretty much came to the conclusion that we had beaten MV but weren't sure about who else. We waited around a bit and then they put the results out, We had beaten Davis by 1 point and Ogden by 4. We got our trophy and the Coach Strickland came up to talk to me about my race.
