am- Swell run today. So me and Mitch and Spencer warmed up and found a bathroom out in the boonies so that was nice! Got to the start line and had to wait for forever since the Junior girls were slow at the back end of the race. So then we finally start and me and Mitch get a decent start and after one loop we were at like 15th ish. We then moved up to the lead pack of 8 dudes and at the top of switch-backs, this dude broke away. That is when I shoulda gone with him!!! I woulda won!! Oh well. So he takes off and I chill with the 2nd and 3rd dudes til I realize that they arent going after him so I take off. Then the 2nd dude came with me and we worked together to get the guy but he had just created to much of a lead. So then I went after him on Reservoir hill but he was just too far ahead and then the one dude ended up out-kicking me with 200m left. I was happy with my 3rd place finish, but I now know what it takes to go after a goal and be real close. I am super excited for track season to get myself quicker and ready to breakthrough at XC next year. My goals for track are a sub-9:30 3200m and a sub 4:30 1600m. I know these are pretty far out there compared to my current PR's but I know that I can get them through hard work and "NO RAGRETS". Peace out
