The weather wasn't the best for the meet it was very windy and cold and I definitely wish I went a little faster but it is what it is. We did a team warmup. A little bit later me and the 4x8 guys did a progressive warmup together. We did 5 mins easy 5 mins faster 5 mins tempo. Then I did my normal pre race warmup with drills and strides. The start of the 4x8 was pretty hectic Connor was supposed to start off but when they fired the gun he was still sitting on the bench getting his stuff off. So we got off 10 seconds or so behind everyone. I had to go second so I was able to pass a bunch of people but it was hard to tell how fast I was going because everyone around me was going slow. Our team ended up in 5th which was pretty good considering our start. For my first race back it wasn't too bad of a time for me. I got a cool down in and later warmed up for my next event. I didn't feel any pressure since I had already done an event. When the gun went off I got off to a really bad start I didn't get out fast and I got boxed in. I was surprised how slow we got off to. We did our first 200 in 34 then we started to pick it up and I could finally move into the top pack by the 350 mark. Our second 200 was in 30 and we were going all the same for the next one. I started making my move with 200 left and it was an all out sprint all the end and I got third with the first guy only a second ahead of me. I was happy with 2:04(the official results haven't came out yet but that's what I think I got). I still have a lot of work to do and I'm not done yet can't wait for the rest of the season.
