On my life, I swear I never wanted or planned to run this. We had a track clinic today and I was going to leave as soon as it was over, but the guys forced me to run it. We start, and I begin to drink my first soda since freshman year. I hate soda. It burned really badly, and Jordan was gone after mere seconds. He had maybe 100m down when Aaron started, then Mason and I started when he was maybe 50m in. Running felt awful. I was burping everywhere and it was a real mess. I passed Mason at 100 and caught Aaron on the home stretch. Next soda I could barely stomach. Jordan takes off, and he has maybe 75m when I started. I was going real quick, I could barely even feel the devil drink inside me. Caught Jordan same place I caught Aaron the lap before. I probably waited 5 seconds before drinking the next soda, I really didn't want it. I finish this one before Jordan and I take off again. I didn't let the lead get to my head, I was going for broke. Around here I wanted to beat Hell Raiser's and the Lone Peak boy's times, so hopefully they see this. I see on the home stretch I have a little over 100m on Jordan, but I think I lapped everyone else so I knew it was just us. The last soda is lukewarm. Ew. Jordan was there for a few seconds when I left. I caught Mason at 200 to go and he yelled at me to go for it, so I did. Cruised in to a 7:32. Nice. Jordan got 2nd with a 8:40 I think, so it was a good race. We were the only 2 to break 10 I think. As soon as I finished and was declared the winner, it all came spewing. Not feeling great now, but I GOT A SCHOOL RECORD! woo. I averaged probably 25 seconds per can so that's like 85 second laps or something. Daggum allergies are going to be the death of me.
