Comments:
Today we raced at Marion. The meet was only counted as a scrimmage. This was my first 5k race and wasn't really sure what to expect. When the race started I took Mr. Clark's advice and took the beggining slow. I only found out that taking it slow in a big race like this is not a very smart idea. This is because at the 1 mile point jimmy was about 600m ahead of me. I had to go wide on the first turn to get in a good spot. Then I pushed for about two miles only to catch Jimmy. On about the last half mile, Jimmy made a surge to the finish I had a hard time keeping up because I sprinted every downhill chance I got. I finished about eight seconds behind him.
