It was warm today and I knew it would be. I warmed up on my own and tried to be mentally in the right spot. We did a new cheer right before the race. We drew the perfect position on the line and that allowed me to have a good start and be in good position. Luckily it wasn't too good like Ryan, who went out in the lead. I ran the first mile a little conservative, 5:25. I really tried to focus on passing people and moving through the second mile. I tried to go with Logan Mackay of Davis who was moving well. That last mile it was everything I could give, along with everyone else in the race. I finished and just dumped water all over because it was hot. I kind of wandered amelessly for a few minutes. Zach came onto the track and talked to me and then we got out awards for Academic All-State. I talked with Jared Ward and he was able to put things into perspective for me a little and make me feel good about my race. It was only 10 seconds slower than I had been shooting for all season, so I wasn't too disappointed. The state was so competitive this season that it just didn't place me even close to where I wanted to be. I almost didn't cool down, but did a short one barefoot. What a releaf it is to finally be done!
