Notes
Run a muck race. 2 mile warmup, 2 mile cooldown. The race was interesting in that about 300m in it became a showdown between me and this other kid. We basically raced to the mile came through in 5:14, which is ridiculously fast for that course, and when he stayed, I knew if he lasted past a mile and a half I had to do some big work, cuz that meant he worked through trees well. Around the 2 mile mark, I could feel him slinkying off of every tree hurdle, and I took a series of sharp turns and multiple small trees pretty intensely, and ended up opening a gap from him, but I realized I took a wrong turn, we got back on course, but he had a 15-20 meter gap on me, which for the last mile of the race I was unable to close (I also recognize my attitude in that situation was that I didn’t want to go deep that race to make it up).
Overall it was a good race, I put in plenty of moves and testers on the kid, basically testing him every obstacle. He held on pretty well. I wish he had taken it from me to try an test me more than once early on tho. Fun race, good kid, he’s gonna be a lot better than what he is now.
