Notes
Part of the club XC series is the "Hills are Alive" race in Stowe VT. Since the race is only a 5k, and since I can hit that distance at 7:30 pace in a 30 minute run, I decided to do my run for the day in the race. It was a lot of fun. It has been way, way too long since I've raced and even just going slow felt good. It still even felt kinda like a race because there were people of all abilities there and so I was always with people. I even ran into Dan Wentworth during the race! He was running for the Old Goats, the WPI alumni team. The same team Kyle from Gate City joined up with after going back to grad school. And we meet up again at some XC race way out in Vermont. The world is small. Good catching up with him and fun running a cold, muddy, hilly XC course like I should be. It was a really fun day.
