This afternoon was the Murray Invitational. I warmed up about a mile then went and stretched with the girls that had already raced there race. All I could think was how rainy and cold it was last year and how sunny and hot it was this year. So after stretching and them calling the JV boys to the start line me, sam, Nate, Anders, Nelson, Maclean, and Ethan all lined up and did about 6 strides and some drills. Maclean said a prayer in arabic that got us all totally pumped!!! So Sam and I were on the front line, they held the gun up and were off! 

I get out extremely fast which is what I wanted to do. I was in the top pack of 20 going into the mile mark or so. Going around the and into the baseball field was a weird change which I didn't like, the surface of the ground was not stable and was too wabbly for my taste. Going through the mile I was just focusing on passing people and not getting passed. By about the mile mark I was thinking wow how havn't I even gone a mile yet!!! But then I realized that my Garmin just beaped so I was at a mile. I went through the mile mark in 5:11! Which was way to fast! So going around in the sand I noticed I was being passed by a ton of people because I slowed down so bad!!!. When I got to the snake, Sam did a speed change to pass people on the hill but I couldn't keep up with that so he passed me and got maybe 10 meters on me. Going through the second mile, my watch said I was at a 8:10 mile! That sucks so much!!!!!!! So I tried to speed up a bit which is were Anders and Nate caught up to me. Going around the soccer field and down that hill Sam gained 50 meters on me and Anders and Nate gained about 20. When we got to the Indian Head I was really trying to push it but that first mile really wiped me out. I was out of gas. My second to third mile was 8:08 though so I did pick it up a bit but still anything slower than a six minute mile sucks!!!!

After the race I went on a cooldown with some of the freshman girls, we went about two miles cheering on the Varsity Boys and the Varsity Girls. We just ran up the course backwards to cheer them on. I then did another half mile with Sarah B trying to find Ben haha
