Notes
Ran the Show-me-games Cross Country Race. The race director said that it was "about a minute long", whatever that means. The treacherous, switchback course in conjuncton with the uncut, wet grass, slowed us about another minute. I'm glad I wore my new spikes because they really helped give me traction.
I started strong and went through the mile in 6:08. I felt good, but knew it was a little quicker than I could hold, under the conditions. I hit two in 12:37 (6:29) and knew I was going to be able to pick it up the last mile. I hit 3 in 18:57 (6:19) and passed a guy I'd been closing on the entire mile. He was able to pass me back and pull away in the last tenth, even though I was at 5:38 pace for the last .29! I feel good about how I ran and feel I can still go under 19 on the track tonight!
