Ran the 3200 with Jackson and Silas. It was super fun, and the day and race were just as fun as I hoped they would be. I was seeded fifth, and I went out kind of slowly, letting all three guys behind me get by. After about two laps, I passed one of them who went out WAY too fast, then latched onto this guy from Latin. I stuck with him, but he was going kind of slowly and I kept trying to pass him. He would pass me right back, which was confusing and annoying because it just elevated the pace, but eventually, about halfway through, I passed him and he couldn't keep up. Next, I worked my way up to Patrick from Wilson, passed him, but he was pretty close behind me (I could tell from all the cheering) the rest of the way. I don't really have much kick in me, but I sprinted as fast as I could, shortening my stride as Leah told me to do, and beat him out by a tenth of a second. I was so excited that Jackson won the race, and it was really motivating when he passed me on my second to last lap during his monster kick, beating all three of the Zaga guys. I feel really good about this effort, and think I have a lot of room to grow in this race. First AND second miles were 5:34 point something.
