Notes
Another summer, another 2 mile time trial at the camp. Weather was hot but nothing insane like the past few days, but the humidity was pretty awful and that is always a problem with my asthma. Race went out and I built my way slowly up till where I caught up to Adam at the 600. He asked if I could help pace him, so I said sure but honestly it ended up with me pretty much racing the whole thing with him. Breathing got nasty around a mile in and I wanted to stop a few times just because it was so hard to breath and I felt like I was overheating. Adam hung tough and had a big breakout day, with both of us going 9:55-9:56. This was the first time anyone has ever broken 10 on this course before, even some of NCHS's record holders who could run 9:20 and 4:15 in track hadn't done this. Very excited for Adam as this was a Grant Baganz wheel-measured full 2 mile and he's only a few seconds off of his PR and in trainers. As for me, this is the fastest I've ever ran on this course and I'm happy I was able to dip sub 10 here despite feeling like I was breathing through a garden hose. Overall, a nice surprise to end the first week of camp!
