Comments:
After a long drive to Felton, Delaware, where we'd be running in the lake forest cross country festival, we off the bus and warmed up fairly soon after, jogging the course with the whole team, then breaking off with Jason for drills, etc. By the time we reached the line, I don't think I was quite nervous enough for the race which may have worked against me. I went out in 5:38, followed by a 5:59 (11:37), followed by see below. I attempted to run with Zeke and Gabe but they went away by mile 1. I was not passed very often and recall moving up nicely, but still alone, routing smaller groups every few hundred meters. But I came in last out of our group of seven. At least I can say it felt like a tempo run. We all agreed after the race that we had talked up the course a little too much, seeing that it had sandy terrain and more wooded sections than, say, Glory Days. On the bright side, we won. A surprising showing from the rest of the team. People seem more invested than last year, which excites me.
