this was a weird meet. we had every weather you could think of in the 14 hours we were there. blazing hot, windy, shady and nice, rainy, hard rain, windy rain, hotter, less hot, you name it! anyway i felt like i was warming up the whole meet :)

so we had the 2 mile first. warmed up 1.5 miles then went to the starting line. my goal was to just qualify for state (10:01) so i wouldn't be too tired for the other races. no other compitition. race started and casey and i started to switch off leading each lap. we did alright but were a bit slow each lap. first mile was 5:02 or so. i felt good, wasn't to hard. then with 800 left we had built up to be like 10 seconds off pace and i realized we weren't going to make it at this pace so i took off and ran faster so i would qualify, and i did just barely 9:59.

next race was 300m hurdles. i warmed up and was excited to finally do this. i was in lane 7 which i didn't like but oh well. race started and i did terrible. i just studdered too many times and messed up. got a 47.2 and second in my heat but didn't qualify for finals which is embarrassing for how small the meet was. i dont think coach will let me run this event anymore but i want another chance.

then the mile. by now it was pretty windy and my goal was just state qualify again (4:35) race started and i went in third letting a few unexpeirenced guys break the wind for me during the first lap. then i passed them and on the second lap there was one guy ahead of me and i decided to let him lead again to break the wind but that was a big mistake because he slowed down a ton which made my second lap way to slow and cost me the time. i was mad so i passed him and tried to make up the time but didn't get it, 4:39.

then, since didn't make finals in the 300m hurdles, my last event was the 800 in the medley. my team did very well and we were on pace to qualfy if i ran a 2:03. first lap was 1:03, then i pushed and pushed trying to get it...but i got another 1:03 for a 2:06. i was sad i didnt get it for the team.

overall good week of milage and workouts! missed my goal of qualifying for all 4 events, but i know I'll get the other two soon...not the hurdle one :-)... i was mostly disappointed with my mile time but next week is our PV meet which will have a TON of compitition and fast kids and i know there will be fast time there.

Strong quadruple Mike!

Are you planning to run the steeple? Do they even have that in high school here?

there is only two meets that offer the steeple, UVU invite and SUU invite. We are going to the SUU one so i get one chance :)
