PM - Dixie Invite 800m. Time: 2:06. I ended up missing the fast heat by 1 place which made me kind of mad at first but then I realized this might be good for me and help me run better. It turned out that it did help. I got out quick and right to the lead. Hit the first lap in 61. I made a nice surge from 400 to 500 like I was planning but slowed down a lot from 500 to 600 because I started to feel really tired. A Parowan and Snow Canyon kid passed me right here and I almost totally gave up but when I saw the Parowan kid slow down a lot from 600 to 700, I knew I could still win my heat. I got around the Parowan kid and came up on the Snow Canyon kid but I was hurting so much at this point. My legs were dead but I was so close and so I gave in one final surge with 50 to go and was able to beat the Snow Canyon kid. Good race. Still not where I'd like to be but another step in the right direction.
