State meet today. Boys placed 8th with 188 points. Third place came in at 150 points... a lot of mixed feelings about the result. After looking at results around the state, I fully expected the boys to finish 3rd, but it was clear it would be very tight from about 3rd to 6th in the team scoring. Our top 3 guys did not run as well as I thought they could, even given their sickness issues. They just lost more fitness than I had expected. #2 and 3 ran better than last week but I thought they'd make up even more ground. Ah well. From barely making it out of districts to 8th at state... it really could have been worse.
The good news for me is my ankle really seems to be doing better. The scraping has been doing the trick. So next week I'll up the intensity a bit and see if I can't get my miles up. |
