Notes

Race at Depauw University's Indoor Track, Me and Josh drove down with Hitchcock and Sechuga, got there around 10:00, chilled there for a while, Danny and Pat did well in the elite mile. I was aiming for sub-4:40, race started. The laps went by very quick, with 20 guys in the race, I was afraid the start might be a little crazy. I got a fairly decent start, a bit of jostling but everything was just fine, smooth first few laps, felt very good through 800 meters. At about 950 meters I started to pick it up, caught several guys ahead of me, reeled in Sechuga, by the bell lap my legs were feeling pretty dead, couldn't move too much faster, but held positioning, didn't get outkicked so that was good. Although I didn't meet my time goal, I was very satisfied with the effort and time. Felt pretty decent after the race, my throat was very dry from the indoor enviornment, mouth was burning. Made my way over to my stuff and felt ok for about 5 minutes. I started to feel a little funny and I went to the bathroom, threw up a little, got out but went back in immediately and threw up again. Went back to the guys, they said I didn't look so good, I started running towards a trash can but I didn't get there in time, literally I poured everywhere, one of the nastiest things I have seen, I was helped out by a trainer, but I felt great after finally getting things out of my system. Good ride home, took Sechuga and HItchcock home and then went straight to Dance Marathon. My legs were dead after racing, so standing for six hours was really tough, but an amazing and touching night. We ended up raising over $230,00 for Riley. FTK. Great Day
