Today the three of us that were racing today showed up at UVU totally exhausted and freezing. I only got 5.5 hours of sleep last night because I couldn't fall asleep and it was like 25 degrees when we arrived at the track. So we all went and checked in for the mile and warmed up with Sarah. I did 2 laps on the track and it was hurting my knee so I stopped and stretched then did another lap with Caden. We all went over to the Bullpen to get seeded and Caden and I were in heat 4, I was hip number 13 because of my incredibly slow time from last week.

Caden and I did about a mile and a half warm up including strides and the jogging we did around the Bullpen. We finally lined up, after we lost our entire warm up from standing at the line and at the Bullpen forever. The gun goes off and since I was up on the second shelf thing I had to wait till the 100 meter mark to cut in and I was in second place at that point. Then I cut in and Caden passed me again and I mentally gave up. I went through the 400 at 76 which is a lot slower than I wanted so I tried to push this next lap. My 800 was 2:47 which is way slow. The third lap I started to pick up the pace at the 600 meter mark and it was a good thing. Then on the last lap I passed one person on the far end of the track then I saw a kid about 10 meters ahead of him so I passed him at about the 200 and from the 300 I was kicking pretty hard but I got outkicked again this time. My final time was 5:43 which is faster than last week but still incredibly slow!! I need to focus and push these next few races!! Then when I got home, after I watched Kiley race in Arcadia I did a 3 mile run to finish out for the week.
