Alumni at the Farm

October 8, 2022 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Very excited to get back to a race at the farm. I slept OK but it was absolutely freezing last night in the nursery. We got up and ready to go, it was just a perfect fall day with the overcast, the breeze, and the trees changing colors. We were one of the first ones there. Slowly alumni trickled in, along with the team which came by bus and walked down to the starting line (no more Pink Pig?). It was still chilly but I was ready to race. Lined up mostly with Ethan and we ended up running the whole race together from start to finish, chatting the whole way. It made the course go by like a breeze, and we knew we weren't running that hard. I didn't get a chance to take it all in, but on some level it was weird because it felt like in another life, this was everything for me. Now was different, I felt outside of it all. Ethan and I did a little cool down in the woods too afterwards. After grabbing some snacks, Coach had us all go around and say what we were up to. Its crazy how successful alumni are, and the pressure there is to succeed with your peers. Good group of kids and I am sure it will continue. It was weird to see the whole cohort of students that we did not overlap with at all there as well. Made me feel even more removed, distant.

Essentials: Stretch

Barely stretched after but I think that the cool down was good enough and I dont feel all beat up or sore. I convinced Phil we should go back and clean up before lunch. At that time it was getting very very nice outside. Nice to be back here.
