Carnige Mellon vs. Case dual meet.
WON ALL SECTIONS OF THE MEET. EVEN GUYS BEAT THEM BY A POINT. Great job to everyone. especially Onko and the 4x4 for pulling it out in the end.
Found out when I got to the meet that I was doubling the 800 and the mile. Kinda weird they didn't tell me before hand but no big deal really. Just like the dual meets I used to run in high school. One perk is I got out of a workout after the meet. Warming up for the mile I felt pretty good. I watched the Wanermaker mile last night. Legat is the man. It pumped me up for the race today. Just tried to concentrace on running how I wanted in the mile. I had to sprint right at the begining of the mile to get right on Bussie's shoulder but after that I settled in. On Monday in the tempos Coach Sly told us to "turn off our brains and run" when we wern't leading. I felt like I did that well. I just tuned into his back and stuck on him for th first 6 laps. The 7th and 8th laps were not so good. I ran well but I know I could of ran these laps better. He ran probably 32-31 for the 7th and about 30 for the last. I ran like 32 to 33 for each, I feel like I could have fought more at this point and that I gave up hope that I would catch him in the last lap. This is where I need to work better for next time. Hopefully I'll do better here next meet. Still grabbed 2nd here. After the mile I felt pretty tired but I jogged a little and then layed down with my feet up to get ready for the 8. Before the 8 Sly told me that 2:05 would be good cuz there was very little time between the races. I felt okay on the line. But the espirience of running this double like all last year definitly helped a ton. Got out good around 60. Passed the CMU guy on the first curve of the 3rd lap and ran scared the rest of the race. Good double though like 2:01 for the 8. Brett ran great and sneaked under 2:) I feel bad for passing Kurt down the streach but I'm sure he'll kick my butt next time we race so I gotta beat Solon when I can. Cooled down after and loved winning the Obelisk.
Overall good meet. I know what I have to work on but I can't say I'm no happy with a mile/1600 pr and the best double I've ever ran based on combined time.
Mile: 4:26.85
800: 2:01.63
MB abs after. Buddies with Jeff from 8.
