AM- 3 miles easy. Not very many guys there this morning. Felt good and pretty easy.
Cedar Invitational- warmed up 1.5 miles and headed to the start line. I didn't even line up at the front for the fear of starting out too fast so we started and I was going a nice pace that I knew I would be able to hold for the whole race. I was with Cam for about the whole first lap at around maybe top 10-15 (place) and then I realized that I was feeling really good! I started to speed up a bit and passed quite a few guys. I fought my way to 4th place by the steep downhill and I made my mind up that I would fight for 3rd, but Sage (3rd at the time) was pretty far ahead of me. I tried really hard to catch him and did by the time there was 800ish meters left and we fought and fought for that 3rd place spot all the way to the end, where I barely out sprinted him and took the spot behind Reed. This has definitely been my best race ever! Ran a Pr of 16:54.5. I beat Byron's Sophomore time on the same course, which is promising! Got my first medal ever and our JV team killed! Cooled down with Cam about 1.5 miles.
