I was unsure of how well I could keep up with the Varsity guys. Coach reassured me constantly, that I can and will do just fine. Still a bit nervous, but afraid I might die-out during the race, if I went out too fast. Quickly got a sincere prayer in, to perform to my best ability, got on line and... gun missfires, as usual during my most nervous races.

The start was better than I imagined, strange without Dan leading though. Though I really thank Ryan for motivated and pushing me the first part of the race. I really needed it. I also thank Taylor for the middle of the race. Wouldn't of done as well as I did, without him to catch and run side-by-side with. It was a very fun strategic race. Everything worked out 'almost' perfectly. The last part, I wasn't able to catch the guy in front of me, which was dissapointing. 14 second PR, 17:38 and very satisfied with my racing. I knew I could of done things a bit better though, there's always improvement to be made. Bring on Districts.
