FINALLY. I really enjoy racing i decided! Im pretty good at staying positive and given a few minutes after a nice little cool down i feel pretty grand:) . Warm up was a nice steady pace and felt really good during it! I was a little concerned about my leg while waiting to start cause it wasn't feeling all that great. The race itself was fun in a hard sorta way. I started out strong and generally kept up my pace the whole time. I really worked hard on the hills and inclines to push hard and pass girls..which i did! On the super big hill i was able to pass prolly round 5 girls then kept my pace going strong! So goal one accomplished! I also used the downhills to my advantage instead of slowing down on them like i have in the past. That last lap was pretty difficult and i had a few girls catching up to me. By the time i reached Coach Holt on the grass right before the track there was a snow canyon and cedar girl not far ahead of me..i passed the snow girl on the grass then we were side by side most of the time on the track and while im yelling cause my legs did not appreaciate what i was making them do, she kept encouraging me to keep going so that was nice. Sadly she did end up sprinting faster than me but i was booking it with all i had to the end. All in all with a 6:00min drop im pretty stoked about my race!! Oh..and my ankle didn't bug me at all :) felt awesome!!
