Biked for the first time this year, just went on rodeo it was a good time.

Root beer mile today, we started off by helping will get all the 144 cans of root beer to the track. Than people started showing up, first it was Joe Bensen than Ryan Raff and a few people from lehi, than just a ton of PG guys and Eugene from Unitah. After coach got there and most everyone else we got ready to start. I did a few strides than got my cans, for those who dont know what a root beer mile is, you drink a root beer than run a lap. And you do that 4 times, I decided to do Barq's Root beer first than my other 3 laps the A&W. We got Milsplits snapchat and we put Ryan in charge of it. Than all 30 of the racers got on the line and started, Eugene was good at drinking and he got out fast. And I started out right behind him, next to craik. Then I passed him at about the 200 and took the lead, than drank the next one down but Eugene was ahead of me again because he was so fast at the drinking. I passed him at about the same point than I tried to get my third one down faster. Than that was when my stomach started hurting, I got done with my 3rd lap and on my 4th soda I threw up with a mouthfull of soda which actually I think helped. And if I would have ran a 65 last lap I could have broken the LP record but I puked coming in on the last corner, but I still finished. I got a dope trophy and was only 6 sec from the record which is awesome. I puked 5 times after my race, but it was worth it.
