Morning- 2 mile warm up. Got my spikes, and was ready to race.
Race Report- The course was really muddy, and slippery by the time I raced. But I took out fast, and kinda backed off, after the first 200 meters. I came by the mile mark at 5:15. And I thought that was a solid first mile, but it wasn't that great. And the 2 mile mark was 10:57, and I thought I was going faster than that. But it wasn't... And then I was thinking I was almost done only with 400 meters to go, but 1k left really. And I made an early move for about 300 meters, and I was thinking I was going to burn out. And the thought kept coming back to my head. And it cost me the last 800ish meters left of the race. I was trying to push the pace, but kept on staying the same speed. Colton came up to me on the last 300 meters, and he started surging away, but I thought to myself that he wasn't getting away this time. And my body responsed, and went with him. I finished it strong. And thought I killed it, but turns out my time was way slower this year, than last year... But I wanna blame the mud, but it didn't slow me down that much. I just didn't try my hardest I guess... This is my last XC race ever in high school. Kinda sad to end it on a bad note. But during track I am going to kill it! I am looking forward to track now!
