There are a lot of different takes you can take on my state race this year. In many ways it was a good race as I didnt completely die and I was able to finish relativly high in the rankings, plus the team took second place which was excilerating in it self. However there were a number of things that I wish I would have done bettter. For example I wish I would have pushed myself harder the last 800 of the second mile and the first 800 of the last mile and started my kick much sooner than I did. I started it way too late, when I hit the blue tape, and that was really dumn of me, I had more in me to give to that kick that I could have utilized by starting my kick earlier and therefor hopefully passing maybe a few more guys or at least getting me closer to my goal time for the race which was a 15:40. I chose a 15:40 because according to the genius of Papa Heaps he guessed that that time would put me in the top 10, my other goal for the race which I once again didnt accomplish. Overall there were many areas in which I could improve my race and that I'm looking to impliment come Regionals, but I'm still really happy with what the team did and what we were able to accomplish together at this race.
