First real race of the season. Had ACTs in the morning and then was just doing the 3200 in the afternoon. John and I did a good warm, I was seeded 2nd in the slow heat but they ended up running 32 kids in one race which definitely helped me out. The field was out so quick, top guys in 65, I was right with John at 73. Stuck close to John for the first mile (5:08). A bit quick and then he took off, I was racing in a pack now for 9th place (no medals). They were really slowing and I needed to salvage a good time so I tried to take off. Ended up having to lead the chase group for the next 3 laps. Laps 6 and 7 were dirt slow but I pulled a 72 out last lap to break 10:30. 3 guys nipped me at the line and I was 13th overall. Beat CC's Boyer though, and was pleased with my race.
