Entry 260. I'm not one to reference other sports that often, but as the NBA great, Lebron James said after winning the championship: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRd13-JxBkQ. Yes, 4:59. My new spikes worked well, and I have finally embraced the team cult of running without socks. Things went pretty well, but I had way too much energy left at the end and wished I could've done another event. Boys 4x800 broke the school record significantly, winning AGAIN! To get in some extra miles, I jogged the XC course with Noah and Slater and indoctrinated them about summer training. This was a fabulous day for GDS in throwing, running and jumping.
So, the race: I found a way to get rid of my nerves and went out in 74, then ran a 78 (2:32), then a 78 (3:50), and finally a 69. I passed people throughout, and never got passed after the first lap, but barely noticed anybody but Anthony and Michael yelling at me. I felt that I was too much in control, so I was a little underwhelmed with the result. I know there is more there. At this point, I've done all the work now I just have to truly race.
