It took a while to get up to Payson but the ride was fun. We played Uno and talked for a few hours as a team. I got about 45 mins of sleep before my race so I felt really fresh.
All of the JV Sr/Jr boys did calistenics and striders (led by me) then we all visualized (also led by me). Caden led us in a succsessful redering of Go Fight Win Tonight, Cody Clayton would be proud.
The gun went off and I sprinted pretty hard for the first 50m I didnt want to get boxed in. Caden, Joe, etc. all did. I was about top 15 for the first mile at 5:15. It was really nice having Jake Taylor and some other PV kids to stick/fight with. By the second mile I was just really focused on my cadence, I came in aroud 11:40. I started working forward trying to leave it all out on the course, I passed a few guys and by the last 400m there was a group of 4 of us. We dropped onto the track and I kicked on the Nitrus. Our arm were swinging so hard I hit a Mtn. View kids arm and he kind of stumbled. The last 100m I passed all 4 guys landing myself in 5th place. I was so happy I jumped up and smacked the flag things hanging over the finish line. I got 5th and beat Scotts time by two seconds so I will race Varsity for Cedar.
It was my best race of the season so far and Im really exited for this week. We got back really late and Im tired.
