am -  Race, Las vegas Invite.

Kind of an off race for me.  When the race started I felt like the pace was super fast, my legs were already so tired.  My physical part was feeling like crap.  I kept weaving around people to get into the front pack and stayed there for about a mile.  I didn't feel good, like at SUU I felt great, like I could squat 400lbs.  At 1.5 miles, Cam came up to me and we ran together for a while.  He made a move at 2 miles that I went with for a bit, I just didn't have it to stay with him.  I was able to pull it together the last half mile and pass a good amount of guy, that was a mental battle I won was to go with a half mile left.  I was also to have a good sprint and I passed two guys in the last 5 feet.   

Thinking back I don't think I was as prepared today as I was for SUU.  Then, I ate 2 PB&H sandwiches before the race and a pear, and today it was a few peaches and some graham crackers.  I also didn't hydrate enough on thursday and friday.  Next time, I need to feed the machine good.  Not to mention, today the heat and humidity felt insanely hardcore.

Our team won the varsity race, jv race, and frosh/soph race.  And we won the overall champions cup so thats supa swag.
