1.5 miles after school with Ky Voorhees. Then we rode over to the meet and I warmed up for I would assume about 2 good solid miles. The race went pretty well I started off and my race plan was to stick with the pack for the 1st mile and then break away. Well I did just that ...kind of. The entire first mile felt like a jog, and the only kid with me was Spencer Neaville from Dixie and I saw no D-hills kids. I was thinking wow! I thought D-hills would give me more of a fight than this (I was honestly a little dissapointed at first) So the second mile I started to get a pretty good lead and I couldn't hear anyone behind me so I think I got a little over confident here. When I finished the second mile and was heading on my 3rd lap I looked behind my shoulder and saw a pack of like 6 desert hills kids right behind me, out of nowhere! I almost wet myself! (sorry TMI) Ha! I was so freaked out so when I hit the track with 300m left I booked it and I was able to hold the lead till the finish. Anyways great race! I am happy with the time I hoped to have won with a little more of a lead than I did, but this was the first time I have ever ran faster the first Cedar meet than I did the previous last years last cedar meet in my career so I am very happy about that. I also have put in much less speed work than I ever have during a summer, so I am very excited to watch my times drop as I progress through the season. Next stop is Highland Invitational! And I hope to dip under 15 minutes there so hopefully all goes well again. Afterwards I cooled down 2 miles. Then when I got back home I felt really good so I ran 3 miles easy tonight.
