This race was considerably faster than my one the last time on this course, and im not even worn out, at the end of it i felt like i could keep going. I dont know my time, but it was definitely better than last time, and i had a pretty good race with this one kid who i dont know the name of. He is about a foot shorter than me, but he obviously trains hard, his two mile for track is 21 seconds faster than mine, so i have progressed a lot, even though i was completely out for 6 weeks. The kid tied me. With a mile and a quarter to go i passed him and then he came back and for the last mile we were neck and neck, i cant say stride for stride because his strides are way shorter than mine, but we were next to eachother at the same pace. With 100 to go, he deceived me and let off to be just a bit behind me, we were both hauling asss! With 25 to go, he passed me, then i put in the fastest sprinting i have ever done in my life and got a little ahead of him, but theres an angle at the finish chute because it turns, so it was called for him, i think we literally got in at the exact same time, but it was called for him because we won the meet anyway, it seriously was as close as is possible for a race to be, but we won and i had fun, i need to work on my downhillness. YAY new Redwood PR, and i know i could have gone faster if i took the 1st 2 miles harder, but its ok. Fun shit! XC is awesome!
