Took the ACT in the morning with Aaron and Mason. I can almost taste the 34, and it tastes like nerds
It was called a 5k, but my watch had something closer to a three mile, so I'll call it that. Warmup with Mason and Aaron. The plan was to hit the first mile easier and negative split. Aaron and I came out way quick, gapped everyone pretty well. By the 800m I got out in front of Aaron and got a couple seconds of a lead on him. Hit the mile mark at 5:23. U turned, and Aaron caught up to me on the downhill, but when the course evened out I got a little bit more of a lead than before, and on the downhill it grew a little more. I hit the 2 mile mark barely at about 10:58, Aaron at 11:03. Hit the final U turn and I suddenly got hit with MAD bathroom cramps. Aaron caught me, and I let him gap me. Aaron finished at 16:09, I at 16:19. Our lead was enormous. Mason took it pretty easy, so no one was even close to us. We both got ten dollar coupons to Dickies™, which we then have to the football players who got third and fourth as to reconcile the football/XC Twitter war. A 19 second PR for me, and a 1 second PR for Aaron. What a race. Felt great. Now I'm watching Gobley of Fire with Austin, Kyrie, and Aaron, after acquiring some delectable smoothies.
