So I got into the wrong race. I kinda ended up in the F/S All West Boys. Better known as the Freshman/Sophomore All Star Race (for those who aren't running the seeded race). Luckily, there were some other people in the race my speed and under so it wasn't too bad. From our team in this race it was only me and Paul (who actually was supposed to be in this race). It felt weird to warm up with only Paul and be at the starting line with just him and especially weird when I didn't see any of my teammates running for the last two miles or more. Anyways as the race got started, I was right behind Paul for the first fifty meters before deciding that was too fast. I was kinda mad at myself for slowing down too much though. I felt pretty good on the 2 loops and felt like I was in a good position and passing people but then came the switchbacks. I did pretty bad all day at the hill running and on a course full of hills my racing suffered. I got passed by quite a few people on the hills towards the end and tried to use the downhills to make up for it but even that was poor. At the very end on the track, a black guy with dreads who I'd been by pretty much the whole race passed me and built a good lead on me but I sprinted in and finished just barely behind him though the times don't say I really did. It was cool to race in that race but I just wish I had done better. |
