This course sucked!! Three laps of the same exact loop = no fun at all. Plus the course was long, so times were slow for everybody. But aside from those rather inconvenient facts, the race was good. Not amazing, not bad, just reasonably good. I think I could've run faster by quite a bit, since I just kept cruising along and only pushed it hard a couple times. So, I'm going to do better on that front next time - most definitely! And it was super awesome to see all the PV team and goof off with friends at the meet! Oh, and I got 4th on my team and our team got 4th (almost 3rd - by one point), so not bad there either. (GT 161.2) (DD spike 61.7)

It's going to be fun to watch you run this fall. I read your blogs quite often and I'm amazed at how talented and effortless you make running sound. Good Job on your race and keep running hard!
