Footlocker Regionals 2012! Race day. It felt super good and it was good to get all the registration out of the way early. The race day was sweet, got out of the hotel super early and off to the course to watch people go beast mode on it. I felt really good the first mile because of it being flat and really none of the hills really hurt all that bad except for the last one. The switchbacks weren't to bad at all. As I raced down the last hill I just wanted to keep passing people. I ran fast down the gauntlant and onto the track. Coming around 200 meters I was toast but wait.. Is that McPhie I see.. I get this sudden burst of energy and I dared to go and I was so glad because I beat McPhie which I really hadn't done all year. I placed 26th overall out of many other juniors and seniors. My time was 17:26. If it were only a junior race I would've placed 9th so I was very much so happy with my performance. All around an awesome trip! |
