Notes

League Champs @ Lehigh University

Varsity finished in second behind North Penn. We're officially second in our league now.

Never was really in the zone, even before the race. The warm up wasn't too fast but I was still straining a bit then. Maybe I needed to warm up longer. Was really nervous and couldn't control my heart/adrenaline before the race started.

Didn't have that great of a start. Also then didn't really do well working up to everyone else. Mainly today I felt it in my lungs more than anything else. Viraj passed me in the first mile, and after that I didn't see anyone else from our team until near the end. After I got to the top of the hill back by the cornfields I finally started racing well. Finished it strong down that, and once I saw Billy near the end I worked to pass him, and then just kept up the pace until the end. Probably passed 15-20 people between the beginning of the final downhill and the finish. I'll have to try again next week to run strong the whole way through.

1st mile: 5:54 - Too slow
