 I actually enjoyed this race, and ran it competitively for the first time ever. The hills hurt really bad, I seriously need to work on hills a lot next season, but I felt really strong when I wasn't on one of the hills. Talon set a quick pace at the beginning, and we ran the first mile with the front pack. This pack spread out over the course of the race, but I stayed with it the whole time, which I'm quite proud of.  Pretty sure my first mile was sub-5, but that's going off of that I was a few seconds ahead of talon, whose watch said 5:04, because there wasn't a timer at the mile markers this year. There was only one timer, and that was at about 1.5 miles for some reason, which makes no sense. There weren't even any other coaches calling out splits. This kind of upset me. This was my last XC race of junior year, and it sucks that it ended with me 4 places away from a medal. Four places. I'll get that shiny next year, so help me. It was really a great race though, pardon the bipolar entry. My back was really sore right at the shoulder blades, which is really weird for me, that never happens. I'll probably take a few weeks off now, so sorry to all my devout followers who will have no exposure to quality literature until the new year, in the absence of my blog entries.
