Ran in the USATF NW Regional Cross Country Championships this morning in Seattle. Same exact weather as for the Trials minus the wind. Overcast and low 40s. It was my first cross country race since the Kinney Western Regional Cross Country Cahmpionships in December 1990...my senior year in high school.

I finished 5th. If I had used spikes, I would have probably gotten fourth. It was four laps around a 2k course which was rain-soaked and very muddy. I had major traction issues around the corners which really hampered my efforts to jump into fourth place. Guess I better get some spikes for Nationals next month.

It was great to be running off road again.

Way to go, Sean! Great effort in a new venue...and you learned a ton. Stay humble, train smart, and lean on your family and faith for support. You're a great inspiration and role model. What a career you have ahead of you, and you're just scratching the surface!

What was your time, and what was the winning time?

From Sean on Tue, Nov 20, 2007 at 17:01:47

26:21 was mine. Winning was 25:48.I just ordered some spikes so hopefully that will help in the future. Marathon racing flats didn't do the trick. :-)
