AM- 3 easy. AC run as usual. I felt pretty good
12 o'clock.- Ran on the State course just an easy run. I felt good and ready to roll!
PM- RACE! I didn't really know what to expect going into the race, because we weren't able to see the course, because other races were going on, so I was completely oblivious to the beastly course and the MOTHA CUSA!!! Anyway, I started out decent...that will probably be the one thing to improve next time. So, I was behind brigham and ashby at the beginning, because they seemed to start fast! Coach Holt told me to not be affraid to pass them so I just responded and passed them and tried to catch the other group. It seemed that I would catch people on the uphill and flat parts, but then the downhill I was pretty bad and I was pretty much slapping my feet and breaking, but now I know how to run the downhills better! Byron was right behind me the whole time (until the end). About 2 miles into it I told byron "let's go byron!!" as he came up to me and we motha cusa'd that hill! I was doing well and then Byron passed me which I had to late of a response to that and should have gone with him! Anyway, I think I did pretty well. It was positive improvement and we beat d-hells!!! I think Byron and I can push harder at Nebo and catch and pass the next group ahead of us!!! |
