AM morning run later so we could get more sleep. Went up to nebo and finally got out in the freezing cold after 4.5 hour drive. Had to start warming up immediately and I have to say it was so cold. RACE: at the starting line they took a while to start but when they finally did I was prepared. They shot the gun and we started, and I was determined to race this one smart so I didn't over do it at the beginning like I usually do. I stayed a steady pace and had preston behind me a ways and gradually lost him. At the start of the third lap I was having a hard time to keep going then coach said if I get top ten I get a medal... that was like a shot of pure adrenaline going through me. I knew if I got a medal it would all be worth it so I pressed forward. I finished tenth by being outsprinted at the very end. I finished with a time of 17:03 which was like a 50 second PR. To make things better our fresh/soph team got third overall. Way proud of everyone that raced good job to all. |
