During the race I tried to stay by matt because I knew he'll be able to push me and so probably 2 1/2 miles of the race I was 15 meters behind matt and then 800 left of the race matt started to gap me so I started pushing too. around 350 meters left I heard cam behind me and he passed me and I kept up with him but he was able to get me by 2 seconds. During the race I felt really comfortable, I didn't really give the race much thought just running.

First Half Marathon and I was excited. My mommy dropped me off by byron, dave, and preston, when did were doing there warm up so i got a 3/4 mile warm up. 

1-2 mile: the start was pretty good just kept it pretty chill behing andrew, dallin, and dave.

3-4 mile: making our way into hells hole, lead the pack of andrew, dallin, and dave inside hells hole, I was going pretty fast down the hills because i just let my legs and body take me down the hill. Then my feet were burning, it felt like it was on fire. so when we got out of hells hole i slowed down a lot to cool off my feet.

5-6 mile: since i slowed down dave, dallin, and andrew passed me along with other dudes. I slowly started to get my groove back going up the hill where mile 6 aid station was at, then I slowly went up the other hill aheading for mile 7.

7-8 mile: around mile 7 preston and cam caught up with me and we pushed pretty well down the hill going towards the double churches and mile 8. at some point a guy passed us so when he was leading for awhile I tried to stay behind hime until we passed mile 8.

8-10 mile: when we passed mile 8 I couldn't make my legs go any faster going up the hill, not like it's a hard hill but it felt so hard in a race. Preston passed me going up. I just tried to catch up. while we were heading back down the hill i tried to speed up to catch the next person which happen to be colton so i passed colton. heading to mile 9ish i could heard peeps. it was the dhills crew passing me going up majestic hill which is pretty beast because you're tried and it was long. I tired to go with them up but felt off, just trying to make my way up.finally when we reached the top there was a down hill going towards mile 10.

10-12 mile: passing mile 10 i passed dallen from dhills and making my way to preston. by mile 11.5 i passed preston and just wanted to be done. around this distance coach was waiting and told me to keep relax and catch the next guy. 

12- 13.1 mile: When i saw the aid station for mile 12 i was soo happy, because i was almost done and just need to go faster so i can finished. at the turn around point i pretty much walked around it. going back where coach was standing, i didn't notice but he told me keep my arms straight and not swing them each was very helpful i didn't know i was swinging my arms. when i changed i felt like i was going faster which is good and then the last 200ish matt was there and help me get started on my kick to the finish.

First Half Marathon was a success, it was a pretty fun race, now next time i know what to do different and get a faster time.
