Ran on the state course while it was drizzling a little bit. It felt way nice. Was definitely better then last time we ran on it.
Race: Well we're going to try to focus on the positive here. It was a really fun course! Started out crazy though. We missed the varsity race so we ran JV. I was hoping to get in top 10 since we were in jv. There were so many flipping girls! And they really refuse to let you pass. Started working my way around on the switch backs and I felt really good. The hills were pretty tough but the downhills were able to give me enough momentum and energy to get back with it. And all that mud helped go fast downhill so it would cushion your landing. I knew I had a pretty good spot where I was at and the girls ahead of me on our team were Mia and Megan by the 3rd mile. I got up the mother cussa and it was...awesome. I mean that thing is a beast but I felt really strong on it just afterwards I was completely beat. Then after that I landed on a spot wrong my leg twisted and knocked my knee out. I still had maybe 1/4 of a mile left and I did not want to finish. I had to stop and walk a few times and right in front of my teammates that was really embarassing. But I finished, with not a very good place or time which is why I failed to put that in my race report :) So yes. You can see I just have the best of luck this season and it's getting a lot tougher to stay positive but I'm working on it.
