5 miles up to green springs with 4x200's afterward. It was a really nice run today. It was a nice pace and really good weather. Kind of really quiet all morning but the run went by pretty fast. Really nervous to race today but kinda excited. My first XC race ever! And the farthest I've raced in my life :O it'll be good to see where I'm at and see where all the hard work this summer has put me.

Race: So...I was so nervous for this. I have been thinking about it ever since the time trial. But as we got to the starting line I calmed my nerves pretty well. Did a little over a 2 mile warm up. We were at the starting line and all of a sudden it started and we were all like "what the!" and there were a lot of girls to get by. We all kind of got stuck in between them. But my goal was to stay up with Kaelie. I wanted to stay with Alli Peterson but she got ahead quite a bit so soon she was too far ahead for me to catch her. But Kaelie would weave in and kept surging so I kept going with her. By the little inclination after the track I was feeling pretty good and calm. My first lap felt pretty good but up behind the buildings by the road was the hardest part for me. I felt like a snail and didn't really want to get my pace up at all. But by the end of the first lap I was in "my spot" and I didn't get passed the rest of the race (except megan at the end) and I was doing pretty good at catching girls. I would get up with them thinking that we could just run together but soon they would fall back as I kept my pace. By the last lap my legs were really tired and then by the time I got to the track Megan passed me and everyone kept telling me to catch her. My brain wasn't motivated to go catch her so I kept close behind her and then had a pretty good finish. So...my first race is over with!! Now that I know how things go next time I will apply our phrase "dare to go" a lot better and not let my head get the best of me at the end.

Great first race. I love the effort and the way you have committed yourself to the team. You'll learn a lot about racing and running this year, and your races will get even better.
