5k today up in enterprise. we woke up early and met at coaches at 5am to get to the 6:30 race up in enterprise. we got there, registered then searched for a restroom. when we got out, everyone was gone. apparantly there were busses that take everyone clear up into the canyon where the race apparantly started... it was a very very stressfull 10 minutes whyle all 4 of us ( abel matt me and kyler) had to catch a last minute ride up the canyon from one of the locals. made it just in time luckily, but we had maybe a half mile warm up... the race started and placement started pretty quick with abel and i, coach holt and the DH coach fielding in the lead (coaches were doing the 10k) with matt and kyler right behind us and colton not much farther back. not much else happened actually. matt and kyler fell back a little, but held a good pace throughout. same with colton. abel and i were helped out by the coaches as they kept the pace about 5:15 the whole race. the last mile came in no time and i took no hesitation on making a move into it by catching coach fielding who pulled ahead 10 or 20 meters or so. abel slowly caught up and we had another .75 miles or so. we kept a quick pace up untill the last 300 meters or so and i tried making a move on abel but he was going pretty quick as well. i think if the race was a bigger deal like a HS race i would have caught him easy, but that kid has quite the kick, so you never know! i shoulda gone for it but i knew we both ran really well and i just let us finish quick. Abels time: 16:20, mine 16:23. matt and kyler and colton were about a minute or two behind. Pine view had the top 12345 sweep! and coach won the 5k so PV all the way! (radioactive green beans, 5 miles) afternooon did a quick 3 miles with the team, and had a swim party after at coaches. planning for camp too! super excited.
