Notes
I'm happy, first time under 16 on a legit 3mi course, and I absolutely destroy it (16min). I did what Steen said and just went with the guys the first 2 miles, I made a move to go with Robbie when he detatched, but decided not to - in retrospect, I should have and will next time. The last mile I built myself up for my kick, because I knew that at Peoria the kick was really important. I was intending to start it a little bit after the dogleg, but I saw Steen about 50m before it and he yelled at me to start sprinting, so I did, and it worked out well, I blew past a load of guys and nearly closed the gap between myself and Robbie - brought it down from around 10-15 seconds to ~3.
This race was a huge confidence boost, but I know I could have done way better. If I had gone with Robbie when he had gone, I feel like running a 15:15-25 would have been doable today, possibly better. This race proves that even without guys, this team is deep enough to pack a decent punch, and with guys, a definite contender for the state championship. The guys looked really good all race, we packed up really well and need to again. At state, I'll be looking for an allstate medal - I know it's doable, and am hungry for it.
