COLOR COUNTRY
Had mixed feelings about racing this, one because I didn't want to hurt my knee and two because I didn't run or cross train last week so I didn't want to be disappointed with my fitness but i sucked it up and decided to race.
Warmed up for 2 miles and did my drills and strides. Stomach was feeling weird but that went away.
The gun went off and I went right with my team. Idk any splits. I felt good on the hills surprisingly. About halfway into the race I started losing contact with my team, I was really feeling the lack of mileage lately. Got beat by some people I shouldn't have. It's all good though, considering everything. Finished in 19:49, which wasn't what I wanted but it was way better than I thought I did. 5:18 pace on that course is decent I feel like, especially given my situation. I almost beat joe Simmons, he just outkicked me dangit! I looked at the results and I would have been UVU's 5th guy and Idaho state's 6th guy, which is awesome considering I'm southern Utah's 11th-13th guy!! Cooled down 2.5 more miles, knee flared up a little but it'll be good. We won as a team today too; good stuff from everyone today.
