Personal:

I deeply enjoy doing sports. I've always loved to run and started doing XC about a year ago. I am also a skier and a snowboarder. I have been skiing for 9 years and snowboarding for almost 2 years. I am considered your typical ski/boarding bum.

Ran four miles with Dakota since we are both still in pain. We did three laps around Sunnyside Park and ran back to the track. Then we got in a really really really cold ice bath for 15 minutes. It hurt.

Went to morning practice and did one mile warm-up and one mile speed changes. Then i did 10 strides on the field and had to walk each of them back down backwards. We finished off our morning workout with two grass laps cool down.

Afternoon:

Ran a mile warm-up and a mile speed changes, only sadly for me i was starting to hurt badly in the same region where it had been killing me a few days before and i couldn't continue. Then i went to Bill and he told me to do strides with the rest of the injured people and not even three steps into my first stride, Bill told me i was done. I couldn't continue on, so i went pool running moments after with Susannah to finish off our workout.

We did a ladder going up to five minutes and back down with one minute recoveries each time. In the middle of our workout we ended up changing lanes and it hurt so bad because we were really sore. My highest heart rate was 200. My others were all ranging from 130-164 and i had a 180 once too. We then stretched inside the pool and called it a day.

Ran with the team up to the firehouse up on 11th ave, passing through the U campus. Since i did not know where i was going, i kept up with Susannah and Natalie until my right leg began to really hurt and i had to stop and stretch before the pain got any worse.

Went to morning practice and since i didn't quite remember the run, i decided to follow Ben and Tomy eventually caught up to me so i ran with him for the rest of the run. We went up Sunnyside then up Guardsman, down 800 South and headed south on 1300 East until we reached Sunnyside back again and back up to the track. Then i did my core. The total was 2 miles according to Google Maps Pedometer.

I have to say, I am not happy about my race results- at all. The race course was hard though. The sand patches were so tough, especially on my leg that was already quite painful before the race. In addition, i got out to a terrible start. My team in general did too, i could remember seeing almost my entire team at the back. Hopefully, my following races will be better.
