Comments:
we left school at about 8:40 and got to chenango valley around 10:40. nick and i were alternates. last night, i thoughti was going to be running because alec had heart/ chest problems. this morning, he said he was better and he was going to race, so i didnt think i was going to run. when we got to chenango valley, tim came to me and we talked for a while and decided that i shouldrun for him. then after we warmed up, jarred found out he had a stress fracture, so he could not run. after all the confusion, i stretched, did speed developement, and the race started at 12:40. i was hoping to start really fast, but i couldnt when i started. i was ahead of the last binghampton guys, but behinf everyone else. i stayed behind for about the first mile. then, on the downhill before the pond, i usedas much energy as i could and passed about 7 people on that little downhill. brendan and zack caught back up with me on the uphill, but i passed them again after the hill while i was doing my quick strides. eventually i passed alec and then cedric. there were about 600 meters left when i passed cedric. he passed me back at the very end. i came in 9th overall, third on the team. I am going to states! i did a cooldown after the race and then we went home. i did not wear a nose strip today because i have not been using one and it has been better that way for the last few races. i think i got a pr today.
