My first mile split was a 6:20 with the stadium uphill, so I knew it was going to be a faster run than I would have liked ideally. I tried to keep things relatively relaxed for the first half of the run, but it didn't work very well as I had a girl on the USU XC team out in front of me that I ended up passing. I actually passed another one, the girl from Lehi, later on in the run. Aerobically things were a little hard on the uphills, but the last couple of miles felt pretty good. I ended up averaging right on 6 flat miles.
