RACE- Warmed up on the Ted Bundy trail and started to get read for the race. Got over there and the bull pen had a heater so I didn't want to leave! But we left and the race started. The first mile was fine and there was a big group, but then all of a sudden the leaders slowed down a ton on the 5th lap and nobody would take the lead, and since I'm not known to have the best of kicks, I took it for about a lap to see if I could do anything. Turned out to not be too much to my advantage, but I was seeded 13th and finished 10th which was good. I would like to bet I could've ran better if I was more confident. I more had the mentality of I was just happy to be there racing, but I probably should have been more in it and actually tried to really really push myself. Only 2 of the finishers ahead of me were seniors. Just shows how competitive things will be in this upcoming year. Can't wait for summer practice! We might even do a few workouts with the Hells I've heard so that will be way fun. Honestly, I like having fun with running. I may not be the fastest (yet), but I sure do enjoy running with the guys who are.
Taking a few weeks off of running before summer practice starts up. This summer is going to be a time of intense growth for me. Everybody better watch out because PV is stacking up. We're gonna work our butts off and hopefully reap a nice reward. I have so much fun in this sport and I enjoy the growth I've had in my running. I'm only going to get better from here.
