2 miles in the morning to shakeout. Then another mile before the race and a few strides. I was really confident that I could run a state time. We went out really fast and after the 100 meter break line a lot of guys cut in to lane one but I moved to the front in lane 3 before cutting it right before the 200 meter mark. First lap was a 62. Then a 68. On the end of the 2nd lap 4 guys caught me and I worked with them for a little bit but they started to gap me. Then with one lap to go I started to kick and was able to move into 3rd with 200 to go. Taylor Dillion was right in front of me and I really worked to catch him mostly because he is in our region. Finished 2nd. Great race. 2 miles cool down afterward.
