3 in the morning to the bridge before leaving to go to the Nebo Invite at Salem Hills. 

We got to the race around 2:30, but the boys varsity race wasn't supposed to be until 6:00 so we just watched some races and hung out in the high school until it was time to warm up. We got in a good 2 mile warm up with some strides on the field. The race started and I got out pretty good, but things got pretty crowded coming out of the gate to the football field. I just tried to stay relaxed but didn't want to lose connection with Josh and Jaiden like I did at Woodbridge. I was able to stick with them and we came through the first mile somewhere around 5:10 I think. Second mile was pretty relaxed too, and Jaiden led us and a bunch of other guys in a pack through in around 10:20. I could feel it in the third mile and might've tensed up a bit. Josh started to separate from the pack so I went with him. We passed a lot of people on that last mile and finished strong. We ended up 2nd as a team to American Fork again, they had 24 points to our 87. Not a bad race for us, but I know we will do better. I'm excited for next week at Cedar, it is probably my last chance to go sub 15:00 this year.
