Warmed up a few miles slowly before my race and was feeling very confident, my goal was to break 4:50 and qualify for BYU. Sean, Thomas, and Matt were in the head before Jacob and myself so we watched as they ran. The wind was picking up pretty bad but none of us thought it was mess up our times at all, we were wrong. Sean came in at a 4:40, Matt somewhere over 5. My plan immediatly came to drafting as much as possible on the back stretch. I did that pretty well on the first 2 laps but then by the 3rd I was alone for that part. On my last lap I decided just to give it all which I struggle to do at races and found myself dead around the 200 to go mark. Zac Slater, a friend from PG, cruised past me and that immediatly put me back up to speed. I cruised in knowing that my time would suck and found out later that it was a 5:01. Not what I wanted but with the weather conditions I couldn't have expected much else. Ran a few times after that and got my miles up to 10. Shoutout to Parker Gunnell for getting called to serve in the Honolulu, Hawaii Mission!
