Luke Beauchamp's training log

Hard racing today. Got out fast, but so did everybody else so I spent the first mile just trying to get remotely close to the front. Expected to get beat by Beamer, Kennan, and Inglemoor #1 for sure. What I did not anticipate was Nathan Pixler beating all of them and Inglemoor's #2 beating Inglemoor #1 (Maybe #2 just had a really bad day in Portland). Also got beat by Cullen from Kamiak, spent a good portion of the race chasing him down for him just to put distance back between us with 600 to go. Pendleton from Eastlake beat me the same time Cullen did and Adamson outkicked me in the last stretch. I did hold off a considerable number of people who would have beaten me if my kick hadn't been strong. Happy with my time, sad that I had to have a setback firmly planted in my season by whatever I came down with last week. Should be well off of it by post-season though. As such, I think I can be in an even better place by the state meet. Maybe 15:30. I know it's real far away, but I just want to get running the 3200 again. This Spring I believe a 9:15 is in order. Not sure how 3.1 is a nonstandard distance but it's making me check the box.
