Wow, there's so much I could say about this race.

First off, being in front is really amazing and somewhat difficult; it takes a lot to be the leader.

Second of all, I LOVE running in the rain. Even though it stopped raining when I ran my race, just to hear and see it in the morning when I was driving there really put me in a positive mood. Weird huh?

Third, I think it was one of my most powerful races I have ran this season. I've improved each race; learning how to keep your legs moving even though you can't feel anything. It helps to know how much stronger I am this year; granted how much faster I am. I really have a good feeling about the next two years in xc.

Even though I was tired, couldn't move, struggled with the hill, got stuck in the mud, tripped over sticks haha, shoved through a crowd of more than 200 runners, and made it to the finish line I felt pretty amazing with myself :) It takes a lot to be a spectacular runner.
