Highland meet. Really sucked. Real bad heat. Lots of ducks. The race may only have been 2.9, but the hills are insane. Plus this was my first real run in the heat. The conditions were as awful as they could be, the race was basically he*k for me. I felt totally drained on the line, yet the fifth fastest course time from my school was mine. Ran second from Uintah, Kenny was first, claiming the second fastest from the school on this course with like a 16:40something. I felt way dehydrated the whole time. I need more water. I also need to focus on cardiorespiratory strength in the future, I had lots of chest/side ache, and I couldn't get enough air. My other issue today was moving through the crowds, I was continually cut off and had a very difficult time getting around people. I need to improve my ability to smoothly and efficiently move through large groups of people, without cutting the course
P.S. Nathan, if you're reading this, it was a two star race.
