Marker Chase Domination

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
This morning we had the great marker chase challenge. Last year I fucked up real bad and overlooked a marker stuck in one of the cones, so I didn't wanna repeat that same mistake. We warmed up for a mile then we spent another 1.75 going from cone to cone on the course. This time I got out pretty well, but it took me 6 of 10 cones to find my first marker. After that I was pretty much rolling. Once I got to my last color and knew that no one else had finished, I thought I'd at least be able to place top 3. When I started kicking in to the line, I saw that my teammates Ty and Russ had already just finished, and I knew we had a 1-3 sweep. Shortly after, Knouse came in making it 1-4. My total running time was 27:17, and I'd guess that it was something like 4.75 miles or so,[Edit: Roughly mapping it out it came to 4.75...chill] putting my pace at 5:40s. I think I probably covered the most ground of us 4 since I ran to Pipe dream twice, which was the farthest distance. After the contest, I cooled down 3.5 miles with Ty, Russ, and Sam. The legs felt pretty solid all around given the high volume this week.
