Green Country Open and Tatur Estim8ur

Saturday afternoon, Cameron competed in the Green Country Open track meet held at East Central High School in Tulsa. Cameron ran the 400 and 800 in the Sub-Bantam age group (8/under), and he ran the 1500 in the Bantam age group (10/under for the 1500). His time for the 400 meters was 1:27, which placed him 2nd out of 6 runners. His 800 meter time was 3:12, which placed him 2nd out of 4 runners, and his 1500 meter time was 6:37, which placed him 3rd out of 5 runners. He established a new PR in all 3 events, in spite of the strong south winds, so it was a very successful day. Cameron ran an 800 meter warmup before his events, so his total distance run was 2.2 miles. This brought his monthly total to 15.9 miles, and his yearly total to 253.3 miles.

Sunday morning, we ran the Tatur Estm8ur at Chandler Park in west Tulsa. This is an 8 mile run where you predict the time you are going to run beforehand, and the winner is the person who comes closest to their predicted time. Of course, timing devices are not allowed to be worn during the run, and we did not know the course until the morning of the run. Cameron predicted a time of 1:13:12, and he actually ran the 8 miles in 1:15:29, for a difference of 2:17. This placed him 15th out of 62 runners in the 8 mile event. There was also a 4 mile option this year, which had 67 runners in it. Cameron's total distance run was 8 miles, bringing his monthly total to 23.9 miles, and his yearly total to 261.3 miles.
