Today was Simplot! We drove up after school and after waiting a while I warmed up with the girls, we did the normal 2 mile loop. Then we did drills and strides, and then while waiting for my heat I did more drills and strides and running and stretching :)

I got out quick because I was scared I'd get boxed in. My first 200 was too fast. But I didn't care. I was trying to hit 80s to get that 5:20. I was really focused and for the first 800 I was pretty much right on, then after that I don't know because I no longer focused on time I focused on the girls in front of me and on catching them. I felt pretty even and from what I remember of my splits I hit 40s for the majority of the laps, last 2 laps were 41. (It's a 200 meter track). The last 2 laps were the hardest for me because I knew I needed to kick and was struggling to do so. I also wasn't sure of what lap I was on, when they announced the final time of the leaders I had 100 meters left and knew it was the last lap so I tried to kick as hard as I could. The only regret I have about this race is the last 20 meters, I didn't fight the girls that came up on me and they passed me. Other than that though I guess it was a good race. I made it to finals, I'm the fastest in the slowest heat, yay me. I did 2 miles cool down with Tilda.
