Today we had our first XC meet. It was at wheeler farm. We started out by doing a warm-up. We jogged part of the course, but when we came to a spot on the course with a foot of water we decided the course needed to be changed. Once all of that was figured out we did some strides and started the race. The race went well. Me and Susannah ran together the first mile we hit a 6:10, then I pushed a little bit and was able to get a lead. After that I was just working my hardest to maintain. From the mile to the finish was 12:43, the course was 2.93 miles. I figure if it would have been three miles I would have run around a 19:32 so that's pretty good. After the race we did 10 hills and a 15 minute cooldown. My shins didn't hurt. I took ibuprophen, and put some biofreeze on them so that's probably why. (Skylon 9) |
