Was worried because I didn't have any spikes for the races. But I was finally able to get an extra pair Nick had. Both me and him warmed up for the 1600 and we got on the starting line. Wasn't feeling to sure I would do well, just prayed and hoped for the best. Got out pretty good, got boxed in a few times, but broke out at the end of the first lap. When I saw Nick run around the group of runners, I tried to do the same. Felt good so far.

Everything was going really good, and passed 2 or 3 people the next 2 laps and by the fourth lap, Nick was the person in front of me, so I tried to catch him and I finally passed him at the last 200m, but somehow he completely surprised me and managed to pass me at the last second literally. I got 5:07 he got 5:06. We placed 6th and 7th.

For the 4X400 Dylan started out and was a little concerned with Dan running the first leg also. They went off and by the time it got to me... the third leg, I sprinted out of there. But by 250m to go, my spike felt loose and it eventually flew off to my astonishment. So I had to run the rest of the race without a shoe and in pain. But I smiled and had fun the entire time. A nice way to remember a race.

I'm going to enjoy my weekend now.
