This trip was the best of my three years! even tho i was kinda sick i just had tons of fun hangin with the guys and dancin in the back. One thing that helped me alot was jogging the course alone and slow, really getting my focus and thoughts in the right place, and changing my perspective on the meet. Basketball with the lil pingpong wiffle ball was really run and the ice bath afterwards felt pretty awesome. I left my tylonal pm on the bus so i was afraid that i wouldn't get a good night sleep, but i got to sleep soon and slept soundly through the night.

I still felt really tired in the morning and up until we started warming up, after that i was ready to roll. This race is always hard to start, i was behind some kid in blue at the start line but i was able to get past him soon, i didn't have to walk through the gate. I guess i shouldve gone faster during the first mile, i felt good about it, but it was taking me a while to get going, which is my weekness! the first and second mile was a blur, all i remember is just trying to push my body continually pick up my pace, not just settle. as i hit the turn on the pavement i caught sight of Nick and afterthat i really tried to catch up to him. It wasn't until the woods that i did catch up to him and pass him. The last 800 sucked really bad, i was quickly running out of gas. I passed this rocky kid when rusty told me, but i had no kick and he passed me on the grass, so did a centinial kid...i hate being passed at the end, but i really didn't have enough left, so thats an improvement because i usually save alot left, not this race!

I had pr, which im stoked about and i accomplished everyting that i said in my good news! i broke 17:30, beat nick, and best of all, OUR BOYS GOT SECOND!!!!!!! that was freakin awesome, allthough we got crushed by timberline, even without their #1 guy, i still think we could surpise people later on. The park was awesome too! The flashing skills of the meridian boys is like no other and on the last ride i shared a very special moment with nick and taylor.
love,
