3 easy in the morning to the bridge.
In the afternoon we did a sort of relay/meet thing with Pine View on the region course. There were teams of 3 and each person ran one leg of the course. The first leg was 1.04 miles, the second was 1.05, and third was .85. I was on a team with Josh and Spencer and I ran the first leg. I took the lead from the start because I knew that there are some tight spots on the course and I didn't want to get stuck behind anybody with the race being a short distance for an xc race, and also because I didn't want to just rely on my kick and take the chance of someone out-kicking me. I felt good during my leg, and probably a little too good after I finished. I just couldn't channel my mile speed from track and make my legs hurt. I was 4:55 at the mile and 5:15 for the 1.04 (although my watch said 1.09) and handed off to Josh in first. He increased the lead and so did Spencer and we finished first and got the sweet prize, a framed picture of a stitched teddy bear and 3 bowling pins we all signed our names and times on so that was cool. After that we did 3x5:00 hard w/3:00 recovery and a short cool down.
