AM- 2.43 morning recovery run.
PM- Nebo Invite. The varsity boys team decided to wear white button down shirts, ties, and short shorts to school so that was really funny. In my first class I sat by Riley and Matt so at least I didn't have to wear that alone. It rained all day, and we left in the afternoon for Salem hills. It was cold and windy with on and off showers the entire time but it was a really fun time with the team. Finally we warmed up, drained our legs, and went to the start. We thought it was about to start so we took off our warmups but they didnt start it for a long time after we got down there.
It was a hard race to start because there were hundreds of runners and there was a massive clump. I wish I would have gone out faster and not gotten caught in the clump but that's just how it went and the first half mile or so was slower than I would have liked. A couple guys fell right in front of me but I was able to hop over them. I felt a lot better in this race than Viking Invite, but my throat was still a little sore and I know I can go a lot faster. I ran a 16:58 and measured it as 3.13. There was a lot of mud and some dips in the course but I actually enjoyed the course. I finished 3rd for PG, which I am happy about, but I know that at region I'm going to have to step it up and stay with my teammates Tyler and Riley. We had a fun cool down and stole a sign that says Sat. from 9:00-4:00 and Brian kept it. Later I got some Costa with some of my friends on the team so that was also a good time.
