Ran 2.5 in the morning as a shakeout. Then another 2 right when I got to the meet. Chilled around and bit and then used the bathroom and anotehr 2 miles warmup and then another .5 in strides and drills. The first race was the mile and went really well. My first 800 was around a 2:10 and then during the last 300 meters I decided to go for it and it paid off! Right after the mile I began to focus on the 3200! Natalie Shields won both events in 2012 and ended up winning athlete of the meet, so I made that my goal. Cooled down/warmed up another 2 miles and got some more strides and drills. Then another mile inside on the track. Right before my race it started raining prettty hard and by the end it was pouring. Ran well, ended up winning, with a 9:34ish but I was so stoked that I got the double! Ended up cooling down 4 miles and taking home the Male Athlete of the Meet award.
It was an amazing meet to finish off an awesome week!!!
