Was the first time running a cross country course. Which I am guessing means on the grass. The course was a slower course with the grass and 7 hills. And parts of it there was still sprinklers on watering. A few people slipped and fell through out it. For my team ATK we were going to have 5 people with bibs(placers) 2 women and 3 men. I was one of the slower ones on the team and didnt get a bib. So I didnt feel I need to go all out for us.
The first mile was my fastest and at one point noticed I needed to slow down or I would go under 6 mins. Was alot of people on the course for say maybe 100 tops. But was still crowded at the first and alot of trees to duck under and move around. So I just got into a pace and tried to hold it. And slowly dropped slower as the race went on after each hill climb. I wasnt to happy with my results at the end and got passed by someone in the last mile. But all and all was a good race.
Was able to run into Andy at the first of the race and again at the end. He did really well for his team. And cheered me in at the end. In the end our team took first in our division. And I think mainly because our women took 1st and 5th out of the women. So it was was a great race for our team. |
