Well here it comes, REGIONS! So I arrive at the track, do a half mile warm up with Caden and Gavin and then a half mile of J's to loosen up my legs. Then I go to my stuff, get a drink, put spikes on and head over to the bullpen. I was seeded 8 in heat 1 so I started on the first lane next to Gavin on my right and Caden on my left. Caden and I had a plan that we would go out at 75, 80, 80, 75 and get a 5:10, yea that did not work. The gun goes off and were off, I started out fast and about the 300 mark Caden and I are running shoulder to shoulder then going through the 400 were at 70 so we were already off pace. We stuck together for the 800 and we went through at 2:32 so we were on pace but slowing down fast. We went through the 1200 at 4:08 and we were still together. Then with 350 to go Caden gets away from me and I hear Natalie yelling at Gavin, I guess he worked his way up to us and caught up to us, he passed me with 50 meters to go and I couldn't kick. I think I ran a really well 1200 then I totally died. I was disappointed with my race but it was the fastest I have run the mile since March before I got injured. Then I did a mile cooldown and FLEW TO COLORADO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
