Race today. Woke up and got on the bus at 6:30. then we drove down to Soda Springs to race 26 other teams. This race i raced in JV and top 20 (they said 15 orignally) got medals. We walked the course and saw the one hill in it. It was big but i knew if i was patient i could climb it. I watched the middle school kids run and then JV girls. As we were standing on the line the weather turned bad and the wind picked up, but off we went. Matthew was in front with me when a certain other JV runner who had said he could beat Matthew and I, bolted off. Then we got to the hill and we tucked in behind this kid. He was working and breathing to hard while matthew and i were relaxed and patient. We get to the top and we open up and lost the other runner. Last 1200m in the woods i am having stomach problems and promptly throw up into the trees without stopping or slowing down!! Now i am feeling better and Matthew is still in front by a little. Last 400m, we come in sight of the finish line and just go into a sprint Matthew crosses at 19:01 and i at 19:11. we both medal!!! My time actually beat 2 varsity runner's times so matthew and i both will be running varsity at Tiger Grizz!!!!!! oh about the kid who said he could beat Matthee and I, he finished 4 minutes after us. If you want to talk the talk you better be able to walk the walk!!!!! or in this case, the run.
