Notes
a really perfect day for a race, not to cold nor hot and it was beautiful out there.
Excited because this was a PR but also because it was one of the first times i was able to run with a group of more talented runners so i could push myself a little bit more then i have over the summer and such.
there was about i would say 20 people mostly made up of the x-c teams both boys and girls.
On the firing of the gun the boys went out fast, our first half was 2:38, i felt comfortable with the group i was in. There was about 8 of us in the pack i just tired to stay right on there tails and kinda pull me along so i could see what i had during the middle miles.
1st mile in 5:21ish and it felt prefect, maybe because it was downhill and i was in the pack, but it felt easy. We finally turned onto the trail at the mile and half mark and just coasted through the woods. One guy i kept trying to push past kept easing me into the woods and i wasn't feeling to pushy so i just held back. at about 2.5 there was a good sized hill to finish then it was downhill, but it sucked to the max. I wasn't exaclty sure on the finish line so i went into gear to soon. Probably around 2.95 miles when i should have doen it during the last 100 meters. O well. Got passed only by one person and i think i held on to 5th or 6th, so decent for me i would say along with the 35+ sec PR!
