Did not feel so hot during the 4 X 8, but was still get a reasonable time. Also got a 400 PR of one second on the first lap, which is a sign I took it way too fast. The second lap the lactic acid built up in my legs was awful, and couldn't go nearly as fast. Still ended up getting a four second PR on it, which makes me quite happy. Just found out the actual time after looking at the e-mail because I had thought my final time was a 2:26.

The 4 X 8 performance made me a bit nervous for the open 800. Went fairly conservative for the first lap, and decided the second lap I would pick it up. I really felt like I was going a ton faster, but in reality the time was slower. I was able to pass up around 5 guys on the second lap, and as I came around for the final 100 Josh, a Perry kid, and I were all in a line sprinting for the finish. All the way till the last 5 meters we were all in that line. I should have pushed it just a bit further, and I let both Josh and the Perry kid just barely beat me. Congrats to Josh though. Ellis also had an awesome kick. Not as good as the first 800 but I'm still happy with the time, especially since if not for the first 800 it would have been a second and a half second PR.

The 4 X 4 was my best performance. I was completely shocked when I found out I broke a minute, and for a second I thought I was being lied to. Going into the hand off my group was in first, and I was completely focused on trying to run it right. Got passed by one guy coming in, but I'm still very pleased with this.

Congrats go to everyone at the meet today for all the awesome PR's!
