Race day! I got a pretty good position at the starting line and had a really good start, I think I was actually in first at about the 100 meter mark. I pulled back a bit though because I didn't want to lead at that point. It was a really awesome course and race, the uphills were challenging but I used them to pass quite a bit of people. I think I was in 15th-20th place for most of the race. I was in 20th with about 400 to go and I worked my way to 14th at the finish. I set some goals going into this race and I accomplished them all so I'm very happy with how I performed. I'm really excited for next year, especially because I took 4th for our team according to average mile time (I'm using average mile time because all the other runners on my team ran the 5k course) and the top 2 are seniors.
