Course was a mess, but considering the conditions, I raced pretty well. Crossing the streams and especially the knee deep stream was difficult. The whole course was sloppy except for the woods section and the elevated area before the final straight away. Really was a blood and guts cross country race. Ran well, stuck with Riggins and Ken for most for most of the race, really had to battle hard to catch back up to them when I fell back a few times. Ken pulled away with about 1k left, and Riggins dropped me with 500m to go, but I was able to stay fairly close to him. Really, I think this was a great teamwork race. I did 29:13, but I think a lot of that had to do with the conditions. "Interval" is the strides I did before the race.
