Morning: first cross race of the year!!!! So stoked. Warmed up with the boys and felt good. Got to the line, did strides, and it was all good. The plan was for us, the b team, to win against all these other teams A teams. Gun went off and our pack went right behind the lead pack of uvu and idaho guys. Hit the first hill and people already started dropping. I was in about 25th at this point. Kept pushing the intense hills (it was a really really hard course, one of the hardest I've ran). Hit 2 miles and started really moving, then as per the plan, hit 800m to go and was all out from there. I really made an emphasis on that last 800m. I passed about 7 guys in the last mile, Idk what my last 800m was but it felt fast, had to have been like a 2:27 ish, then finished in 16:20 for 5k. 13th overall and our 5th scorer, not at all what I wanted to be on the team, but I have riverside to prove myself. Good stuff from us, we thought we won it, but uvu randomly entered in a dude and put him in front of some of us, in turn making us lose to them by 1 point. UVU scored 33, we scored 34, Idaho was like 55. A bit of hometown love on the wolverines part, but we still did well. Cooled down 6 miles with koy. Good stuff from our men and women today! |
