Comments:
We got there after a 3 hour bus ride at about 8:20. So I pretty much sat around and did nothing for literally 2 hours. Then we warmed-up by running the whole course. I initially thought the course was going to be really hard, or at least during the last mile. Then we got the actual race though and it wasn't quite as bad as I thought. The wind felt nice and I was feeling pretty good. I actually ran pretty evenly, first mile of 5:28, second was 11:21 and I finished at 17:52. Going up the super long gradual hill I ran alongside a Whitesboro guy and he was pretty awesome. We exchanged a few words. Then the final downhill was crazy fast and steep and I kicked shortly after I got to the bottom finishing pretty strong I think. I came in 14th in the race out of 90 something people. Afterward I cooled down with Dakota.
