Notes
Sub 15! I have now accomplished 1/3 goals I set for myself for college. Was feeling very pessimistic about ths going in (was very nervous and felt flat before) but everything worked out. Shout out for Tommy C taking the wind for almost 3.5K of the race that was BIG. Also s/o to Faz and Grant who both helped pull me along the whole way. Started off very slow the first 200, but worked my way into good positioning hich was about 4th or 5th place where I spent most of the race. Came through 3k in 9:03 feeling like shit. Tommy fell off at some point and then I made my way into 3rd. Forrest made a "move" on faz and I tried my best to not let there be any gaps. With 800m to go the clock read 12:40.XX so I knew I needed to close. Ran a 70.XX and dug deep and closed in a 65 to run a 2:16 last 800 (5:53 last 2k) for 2nd place! Very excited for the direction our team is going we are going to roll people in XC.
