Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Chilly

Oh, so much to address here. It was extremely chilly and windy at the beginning of our race, but that didn't really affect the times, although it did serve to increase general anxiety. Individually I had a nice 30 second-PR for the course, and if I can run an 18:26 on one of the hardest courses in the state, who knows what I'll be able to pull off at Belfast, one of the fastest courses in the state, next week? I'll be looking to finally get pulled under 18:00.

Finally, our team itself didn't do well. Pretty much everyone ran well, but Johnny, usually our 2nd runner and something like the 6th overall, had a very bad race, adding 20 points to our score to place us a couple points behind Greely and Cape, the winners. It isn't too important, because Regionals is only important in that it qualifies a team for states, which we still did. The point is, if everyone ran at their best, we would have dominated. It was a shame not to get a plaque, but, on the upside, we'll be ready to fight for it at States.
