Race: It was my second race and I felt really good. I was way sore just before the race but as I started running the pain disappeared. My start was pretty slow and I was towards the back of the pack but I didn't panic and just worked my way up. I didn't feel tired for the first lap but just into my second lap I could tell I was out of breath. I kept running though thanks to some awesome support from the sidelines and my teammates running the race. About halfway into the second lap most of my passing had ceased and there were three guys that I had problems shaking at the end but as I reached the end of the hill just before the finish I turned on my wheels. I passed all three guys just before the back stop and broke into in all out sprint right at the end. I was really satisfied with my finish and just with my race overall because I beat my Cedar time by almost a minute. |
