20 minutes//2.25
17 minute warmup with a small tempo. Race at cedar. Then we started the race, I was struggling a little in the beginning with getting going. I was trying to go, but it wasn't happening real good. After the first little bit I was starting to get with it. The first lap after I got going was pretty decent. The middle of the 2nd lap I was struggling and I kept clapping in my head to make my legs move, and it was helping a little. The 3rd lap was very hard for me, but coach told me to get around this group of 3 girls and I did and it helped me get going. Going onto the track lily was right in front of me and I passed her AND She didn't repass me so that was good! Although it wasn't my best race that I feel I could have raced, I still got 45 seconds faster than the first of the year, and set a new pr for myself of 18:32. (On a longer course) so there were still some real good things! Much better of a race than my rest of the week of running so that was good also. I was 12 place overall and 5th on the team. We destroyed our record team time on the course and it is now a longer race. So that is also very good. Our 1-5 spread was very good too. 31 seconds which was one of our better spreads.
Shoutout to Carli for going sub 20 and to Ellie for destroying her PR
