AM- 3 easy to arctic circle
PM- TIME TRIAL #2. On the way over there Paul figured out we had a 14, 15, 16, & a 17 year old in our car it was so cool! We got there warmed up and cheered for the youngsters. We started out and I got out leading the pack. I felt so good so so good. The first time we went on the back stretch I felt like we started to slow so I surged a bit and the team came with me which made me feel way strong. We started to go up the top of the park and coach said we had to have someone push ahead up the gradual hill so we wouldn't slow so I responded to that and pushed the team up the hill. That's the part in taking away from this race. I felt so strong to be able to pull the team up the hardest part of the course. When we started going up after the bottom of the course I started to fall behind the pack and caroline went behind me and told me that I had to pull her up to the pack and it felt SO awesome to have her there for me. we spread out more at the ending and I ended 6th, which is fine, I was going for 5th but I'm really proud of the way we finished strong. It really felt like such a strong team oriented race. I'm so proud to be on such an amazing team. Finished it out with a 2x800m workout and cooled to time.
