6 mile tempo in 32:48. I wanted to run 8 in 5:30 but for whatever reason I was having trouble hitting the pace. So I cut it down to 6 miles and ran the last 2 hard to make sure I got under 33:00. Splits - 5:33, 5:34, 5:32, 5:33, 5:27, 5:09.

I ran my first meet with the Western team today. It's a pretty laid back deal, but it's my first XC win. The race is set up as a 4 lap relay, each runner does 2.6 miles, and my time ended up the fastest for the day. 

I started with the first leg and paced off the leaders for the first half, which is flat and on a dirt path. First mile in 5:00, then it headed up into the hills. On the hills I pulled away without using any extra effort, which was very nice. Ended up winning by about a second. I felt like I could cut a bit of time off if I'd been pushed.

Cooled down with the team. Great start to the season.
