First 5k of a new XC season! We had a lot of people from the team run this race, and it was fun to cheer everyone. I ran a 2.5 mile warm up and made it to the line just in time. I ran the first mile with Scott, then the second mile with Taylor. I passed Taylor just before the 2 mile and was with Tomy along Vine Street. Somehow, Taylor managed to catch me again along Vine Street so I had to match and push with him. As we came to the finish, I kicked hard and beat Taylor by 4 seconds. My time was 19:00 even. I don't know if the mile markers were correct, but my first mile was 6:00, second mile 6:10, and third mile was 6:11. I was glad I ran with the boys so I could push myself. This was a fun race, and I am so excited for the XC season! |
