I came to this meet thinking I was only running the 3200 so I was pretty happy when it was the first race of the day but I also ended up running the last event which was the 4x400 with Casey, Nick, and Paul. I ran a 1.5 mile warm up shortly after we got there and then I threw on some spikes for the first race ever checked in for the race. Casey told me that my time should be at least 30 seconds faster than our 2 mile time trials from cross so I was shooting for under 12:00. I ended up getting it but according to my watch, I only got a 12:05. I felt like I ran pretty strong throughout the race but I had a terrible second half. At the halfway point when I checked my watch I was around 5:40 so my second half was almost around 6:20. I had a pretty good finish even if my kick was only around 200 meters. I was able to pass a couple of kids at the end which felt really good. I ran a cool down of about 1.5 miles after. The 4x400 wasn't until the very end so I waited for like 6 hours before it started. I ran to Wendys and back to eat so I wasn't totally motion less during that time. I was going to run the third leg but I couldn't get down how to grab the baton so they ended up having me run first. I ran a 1:02 split which is pretty fast for me but compared to the actual sprinter teams running it, I looked super slow. I had a lot of fun with it though and we were able to qualify for 5A State Girls and even scored some points for the team.
