Great race at conference yesterday. I was super nervous going into my race since the conditions were so bad. But seeing Johnny and Elliot race so well before me helped my confidence. By the time the gun went off all the fear and stress went away and I competed as best as I could. The first lap felt smooth and I put myself in good position to pass first. In the next 200 meters I saw him slow down and saw my opportunity to pass him. The race started to really hurt in that last 150 meters but I knew the gap I had made was enough to secure first and I just needed to get through the line. I ran a 2:00.66 which is a small pr but winning was my only goal. This race definitely gave me some good motivation and confidence going into sectionals and I am ready to hit sub 2.
