Notes
Wow long term goal to win this race!!!! I tried to go out more up tempo this time and there were 2 kids ahead of me at the mile and group of 5 of us before the hill really starts. One kid went out really hard and the other guy caught him and then i passed him about 1.5 miles and then tried close the about 5-10 second gap to first. I knew the kid in first (Romeo) as I warmed up with him and he was a senior at Lawrence high and just ran a XC race the day before. Was hoping his legs were getting zapped from race on the hill and past him around 2 and could tell he was feeling it. I put in a real hard surge down the hill at mile 3 and pressed. They brought in a police car to lead to finish around mile 3 and just focused on that and not look back. When I passed St Pat's church, where I got married, I was thinking about Auntie Betty who recently passed and just pushed everything from there on out. The last turn I was not going to be gotten like last year when someone passed me to get second and I got third. I recklessly made turn on side walk and jumped by a few people and then turn into chute!!.
So I am about same shape as 2014 so hoping sub 30 next week for XC 8k
