Pretty good race. Got 4th overall. Lost to Verelle Taylor, who won and is a super duper runner at Malone, McGolderick, who should be beating me, and Neumann, who should also be able to beat me. I beat Sam by about 7 or 8 seconds. If Sam hadn't come up on me that last quarter of a mile, I would have died miserably because I had to crap my pants. I was really impressed by the David Knack kid who can run a sub 10 two miler and is going to be a sophomore. Fairly even splits, but 1st mile was up hill, 2nd mile was a series of up and down hills while still giving a positive net climb, then the last 1.1 was a quarter mile down a steep hill, even out gradual down hill, then the finish line is up a quarter mile on top of the square. When you reach the finish line, you're still running up hill. And if I had started on the line instead of 25ft back with my friends, and if I hadn't been shouting stuff the first quarter mile like "Excuse me" as I passed people or "Why are you guys going so fast? What is this a race?" or when eveyone was cheering, I had to scream louder than the crowd by saying "Woooooooooo!!!! Stephen Colbert Wrist Strong!!!" and then I raised my wriststrong bracelt in glory. That might have given me another 5 seconds back. Oh well, It was more fun this way.
