had a stomach ache before the race. but I'll just go right to the race. The start i got in pretty good position, i kind of cut off Jason at the beginning. i was in about 6 and sticking right on Tyson's back (1:08) pretty good but i little slower than where i wanted. but on the second lap all of a sudden i was stuck behind some people that formed a C around me so there was no way to get around, so finally when we were just about to finish lap 2 i backed up and went around the group but by then Tyson had already put 2-3 seconds on me (1:10). The third lap i knew i had to push hard so i went hard and by then Jason had caught back up with me and he was going pretty fast (1:07). Last lap i was in third and i was a ways behind the two leading guys so i have someone to push me (1:05). our team did good with having Tyson, me, and Devin finishing 2,3, and 4th. the Jason kid stinkin' ran a 1:00 his last lap to beat out Tyson for a 4:24. that was weird but i should have tried to stick on his back and at least got a faster time.

Great negative split and acceleration on the last lap. Sounds like a tactical race. Its tough when you get boxed like that, probably cost you a few seconds on those middle laps.

We're just experts at getting the same place at races Michael :) I'm happy your track season has been AWESOME since Tyson dropped a shot put on your foot last year so you couldn't run. We're gonna rock at State! / Your biggest (Swedish) fan
