am- alright warmed up and got ready to race. put in the gold spikes cause they were legit!.
Get to the starting line and the girl is singing the national anthem. Wow I started tearing up because I have been watching and running XC since 5th grade. I watched my brothers at this race and they were good. I just am soo thankful we got in as a team. I also was just thinking how great our country is and yeah. Wow so anywho, the race starts and I started decent but definitely could have been better. once we got to the opened up part going up to the first turn, Joe from AF came right next to me and like i went right behind him because the spot we were at was wide open. Then he took off, along with Mckay Johns and that is when I should gone with them, since I know it would have placed me in a great spot. so i chilled and came across the mile at like 4:58. Felt super cheese. Then i surged but so did the pack I was in. I felt like I was passing a lot of people but I really just stayed in the same place. I placed 1st on our team, which was good but bad. I know that I can improve a lot from this and so I am going for the win at Footlocker in my Junior race. Thats the goal. Peace out
