Notes
Didn't feel all that great, but I played through and had a decent race. I managed to get 4th on the team an 10th overall, reasserting myself as runner #4. I think I made up a lot of ground on Pete and Duffty in the second half, but just couldn't catch them. Also, we lost by 1 point to a team that had three runners just in front of me. It would have taken a herculean effort to catch them, but I should have been able to; that would have been a 6 point swing in our favor, which would have easily won us the meet. The cold and the wet didn't really affect me mentally as much as I expected, rather the opposite; I felt like I could run better in the mud than the people around me, but one issue that I experienced was that my calves and lower legs tightened up as soon as I hit the first puddles and the cold water hit them. All in all, I am pleased with this race although there is certainly room for improvement.
