Ran the 3200 today at the meet. Snow started to come down mid-morning. A lot of teams left. Montgomery County was set to close at 2:00 so the meet needed to finish by then. They ended up combining the girls and boys 3200.

3200
Good start led a good bit of the first 400 passed in 70. Tried to stay on the inside lane and maintain good position. Went through the 800 in 2:25 actually probably a bit slower than I've gone out previously. I was sitting in 3rd behind Hutton and Reams for the first 1600 in 4:56. 2 kids passed me a little later. Hit 2400 in 7:30 and heard Jeremy say I needed I 2:29. I didn't have a lot of confidence that I would be able to run that, but I picked it up. Coming into the last 400, I needed a 73. I ran started to kick and with one lap to go I heard I needed a 35. Sprinted as hard as I could across the line. Looked up at Jeremy's stopwatch on his I-touch and it read 10:00.1. REALLY?!!. 9 second PR though. Still waiting for official results. Didn't get to cool down because I was the last person on the team to run, and we needed to leave because of the snow. One more shot to break the barrier(this season)...

Here is the video. You can hear me say Son of a... at 4:26 in after I saw my time.
