Today we had a meet against highland, west and granger. Highland and West are probably the most competitive schools in the region so it was a good way to see where we are at. We jogged half of the course for the warm-up. Then we did some strides and started the race. The race went really well. I started out good but I was a few steps back from the first place girl. I should have closed the gap and stayed closer to her, but I didn't so she kept putting more and more distance on me. I ended up second and ran a 19:08. It was supposed to be an accurate 5k measured with a wheel, but I'm not convinced. That's a really big improvement from last week so I'm guessing it was a little short. After the race we jogged about a mile. It was a good meet and the girls team won. Hopefully this is an indicator for region. I think our legs are tired especially from monday's workout so on fresh legs I think I can run much better. |
