Topic: Track Meet
Today was the Dana/Capo Dual meet. just like last week only this time we were away at Dana's course. i ran the same events as i did the week before. but what makes this race intresting is that i have friends that go to Dana, and its fun to race against them. lets start off with the first one. Miguel. he ran the 1600/3200 today. Hes a JV runner cuz its harder to make Varsity for Dana.so i didnt actually get to race him in the mile. but that didnt matter cuz i still beat him. he ran a 5:05 while i ran a 5:00. and thats not a good time for the way i was feeling. and its pissing me off that im not running sub 4:50 yet!! i should be but im not, so thats pissing me off. im gonna take this weekend and the rest of the week to workout and build some more speed. i have to get a 4:50 mile against el toro!! now lets avert the 3200 meter race for right now, cuz its run last. my second rival at Dana is James. he too runs JV bu only he runs the 800/3200. hes faster than me in XC, but hopefully i can beat him next year. well the 800 race i was doing great, but a Repeat of Aliso Niguel from freshmen year happened. i died 150 meters to go!!! it pissed me off cuz i was with Marc and John. but o well, i better do better in it next week. Sadly i lost to James in it. i think he got a 2:11 while i got a 2:17!!!! grr not happy with that whatsoever. now the ever popular 3200 race. as you can tell, im completely dead from running the 1600 and 800, so its pretty much set that ill lose to james, after all hes the faster distance runner. but miguel, i dont think i should have lost to him. but i went out too stupidly, and ran like a freshmen. i died with SIX laps to go. i was completely tired, and all my energy had vanished! all there was to do was just sputter to the finish line, cuz i would not drop out of a race, no matter what. and thats excatly what i did. ever so slowly, i came in at an emberassing 11:30. one of my worst races ever. my first split was a 5:20 and i slowed down by excatly 50 SECONDS TO A SHAMFUL 6:10!!! i have not run a 6:00 mile in a race since . . . freshmen year! so now the challenge is on. Next week against El Toro i WILL be getting a sub 4:55 mile, and a sub 11:00 two mile. right now im thinking of not running the 800 meter race to conserve energy, but its very unlikely that i will. but my goal for the 800 is 2:12 for el toro, if i run. well thats about it, see ya laters.
