notes: Wow… age group track meets, events 10 hours apart drains you more thanthe actual races. I felt crappy in my 400m prelim, the race felt similar to last weeks. My 4x800m felt amazing the was only one other team in the race and they were well below our competition level. I ran leadoff and ran by myself the whole and held back quite a bit.

NC USATF Junior Olympics
400m Finals: 49.05e
800m Finals: 1:55.97e
4X400m Finals: 3:13.84e (48.02 split)

notes: Very good day, pr’ed in the 400m by .26 seconds. Ran the 800m from the front very fast to make sure the race was honest, I got second place after I was passed on the 500m-600m stretch, could have maybe dug deep for the victory but I felt that I wanted to save something for the 4x4. The 4x4 went well, we were without one of our runners due to a hamstring injury sustained in the 200m yesterday, but based on how I felt I feel I can get down to a 46 high split by Nationals. Thats all for now, I am pooped 6 races in 3 days…
