October 17, 2009 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Very Cold, sunny

Comments:
Conditions were quite muddy and 37 degrees. I can make up whatever excuses I want, but the truth is that I just didn't want it enough. My time was 18:19, way off my PR. Almost everyone on the team did about as poorly, getting far off their records. Jason did well with a 16:08 and got through, which is great. We gave it all we had at sectionals just to get to regionals, and I think we were just all out of gas, and the horrible conditions didn't help out, nor did the fact that we were seeded to get dead last in the tournament (which we did). Too bad that we were in this regional and not any other in the state. We had by far the hardest Regionals and would have gotten through to Semi-State in every other regional. I got to race with Futsum Zenaisallasse again, which is cool. He's going to be an Olympian one day. Well, apart from the last race, I had a great season and made lots of memories. I'll be running this winter for sure and keeping log of that, so there's more to come. Final PR for this year (and my entire XC career) is 17:33. Goal for next year is a 16:20!
