Region 9 finals today. Racing in the JV race. Hoping to do pretty awesome.
Got out quick and settled in. After the first 200m I know it was going to be a looong race because my legs were allready flat.
Stuck at about 5th for the first 1.5 miles, then started to pick more people off. My goal was to stay as close to Scotty as possible for the first couple of miles, then take the lead. I was doing pretty good, and then with about 1200m to go, I started to close the gap to pass him. He was duking it out with Paul Gona from PV, and I snuck up on bolth of them. But just as I was passing them, Matt Thatcher blew past all 3 of us like it was no big deal. >:p I closed the gap pretty well in the last 400, but I couldn't quite catch him. Got a 16:46, which is a lot slower than I though I would get, but they did change the course, so I think it's longer now. Pretty ok race considering how crummy I felt.
