Comments:
Left Lehigh from the varsity house with Etters, Lyle, Flach, Sam, and Tyler at 1:30 today. We got to New York and I was shitting myself watching all of the heats of everything, and even more after we had a clutch negotiating move with the official to get Ty into the meet in my place and move me up into the fast heat. Watching Ty and Sam race before me really pumped me up, as Sam dropped a 30 second last lap for a huge 8:32 pr. Ty finished in a huge PR too, 8:39. Flach, Evans, and I set up on our warmup in the city, and I was feeling pretty good. We got onto the track for our race and I was sizing up the championship section field. Sam McEntee was there, and a few other heavy hitters. I was nervous, but pumped. We got out slow, in 69, and then shit got real. 2:52 for the k and 4:31 for the mile, and then straight 67s for the rest of the race. Flach dropped with 4 laps to go, and I duked it out with a UConn kid, who ended up outkicking me and just hitting the IC4A standard. I slammed my hands on the track in frustration, livid that I fell short of that mark, but afterwards I cooled off and realized that I have plenty of time. Talked to dad after the race and I felt much better. I wish he could make it to one of my races but I understand the situation our family is in right now. We had a 5 mile cooldown in the city, which we hammered pretty nice. I felt great on the cooldown for some reason.
