1.5 before SUU race 1.5 after
I was pretty stressed but got it under control before the race started. The first mile was great although I was hoping for more of a tight pack of 5 guys, not 5 guys in sight of each other but its improvement. At a mile I considered goin for it and latching on to that dhills group but Luke was still with me so I was just trying to drag him along. I lost contact with Luke at the bottom of the big loop and kinda kept cole the same distance away throughout the rest of the race. I just kept pushing through. Kinda kept things comfortable through the middle loop and then both Cole and I hit the last 1k hard. Passed the 2 cv kids and goggles I barely outkicked. I was pleased with the result for putting forth such a mediocre effort and not having run full distance for the past month. I think the guys can be closer for more of the race and I think I could get be up there with Nick and Nephi and them in the next couple weeks. My goals are still to get the team to a trophy finish at state and for me to learn to love xc racing. A state title would be cool too but I have to get healthy first.
