Raced the mile and it was pretty dang sweet. Started out by NOT going out too fast, I know big shock there, I settled in kinda at the back of the front pack. The 800 came along and the guys in the front of my group were slowing down and I really needed to get out of the back, the group was pretty tight though and with the group three guys wide at the front I really didn't want to swing around the outside. In started getting a little frustrated and was about to start throwing some elbows but luckily people starting moving on there own so it didn't come to that. The race went pretty smoothly from then on, I focused mainly on my positioning within the group. Last 400 came around and people started moving around, at the 200 I ended up behind these two guys and I got a little annoyed again which probably help my kick a little bit cause I pushed past them and kicked it the rest of the way in. I ended up with a time of 4:48 which is a season PR and also ties my PR from last year which was run at sea-level so pretty stoked about that. Shout out to Satchel for breakin 5 today! #redemption #BYU?
