Jogged around a little bit to stay loose throughout the day, not sure on the exact mileage because I forgot my watch. Super hot today, and I forgot my water bottle so that sucked a little bit.

Went for a couple of shakeout runs earlier in the day to stay loose for my race later in the evening. 4:45 was the scheduled time for the race but they were a little behind so I think I raced a little after 5 or 5:30. I think I timed everthing really well, and I was in the bullpen for less than 5 minutes, which was a first. It seems like usually I'm in there for an hour. I was a little nervous at the line because I was the very outside person and I wanted to get out well, so I was a little tense and almost jumped before the gun. Got out into a good position, and stayed there for about 700m, but kind of got boxed in on the last turn and really tightened up last 100m, fell from 5th to 10th on the last straight. If I would have run 1 second faster I would have been 5th in my heat insted of 10th, and 6th overall instead of 13th. Overall, not a bad race, but I know I could've done better. I have put in some quality workouts the past couple weeks that are really going to help me at region and state. I just have to stay relaxed in the last 100m and trust it.

Relay workout thing in the afternoon. Pretty easy workout on paper, but my legs felt like trash today, probably from the race on Saturday and the bus ride back. But it was a good way to start the week and get the legs moving so I can be ready for region.

Some easy miles at the meet, didn't go as long as I planned because of the lightning delay.

Easy 4.5 miles for our gatorade run to Mr. D's. Pretty chill run and it was good to relax a little bit after a pretty busy week and before going into state next week.

Track workout this morning with the guys going to state. 6x400 and 2x150 finishes. Good turnover a week from state. Legs felt strong. Excited to finish off the year and my high school running career by giving it my best.

No morning practice for the rest of the week.

Had the AP stats test in the afternoon so I was super late to practice and had to run on my own. 4 miles easy.

Some easy mileage with 3x200m finishes after in Nephi on the way up to state. We were supposed to do 4x200 but after the third one, it started pouring almost instantly. Pretty crazy stuff.

First day of state. I ran the 1600 and it was a fun race. It was a little rainy so the track was wet and people were kicking up water the whole time, it was awesome. I knew it would be a super tactical race, so I did my best to be aggressive with my position, but got caught a little bit on the third lap, otherwise I think I could've taken at least second. Ran about 2:22 for the first 800 and closed in 2:07, with a 60 second last lap, so that was pretty sweet.

3200- First race of the day, and it went alright. My plan was to be pretty passive with my position for the first 800m so I didn't waste any unnecessary energy at the beginning of a longer race like the 3200. I think I was in last place for 700m and I started to surge on the straights to pass people and work up to the lead pack. I finally caught up to them on the 5th lap, but only because we split around 1:20 for that lap, haha. There were a lot of pace changes, and I ended up falling a little behind again on the 6th lap. I felt way tired, but pushed hard the last 800 and was able to take 5th. Pretty fun race again, but I think I could've done better if I ran a little differently, but who knows.

800- Last race of my high school career! The plan was to just go out and stick with the leaders as long as I could. My start wasn't great, and I got forced to the very back in the first 200m. I haven't gotten out that bad since I was a sophomore! I didn't panic though and just told myself I had to go to plan B. I went through 800 in last place, and a little slow (:59), so I knew I would have a good kick. I started moving with 300 to go and passed people one by one, ended up 5th, half a second away from taking 3rd, so I think I was certainly capable of a top 3 finish if I had gotten out better.

Glad I got the chance to run at state this year and be part of another record breaking team! We scored 175 points, the 3A points record, while winning our 3rd straight state title in track. Pretty awesome experience.
