2.5 mile warm up. We sat on the line for like 15 minutes before the race started so I just stretched a lil and occasionally did a stride and talked with sorta Talon Hull and Addison Hedges and the cool guys from Weber. Shout out to them for getting third today.

The course bottle-necks after 20 meters no joke, so I sprinted the first part and got out of trouble and then proceeded to control my pace for the first mile, which on the watch was 5:59 haha, at least it was sub 6. And it was mostly uphill. I could have gone a little quicker and maybe caught Joe by the end but I wanted to go on the safe side. I was prolly in 15th ish place. Second mile is downhill and I got 5:02 hahaha lol, hows that for not slowing down the second mile. Feel like I did a good job taking advantage of the down hills and passed some people.

Mile 3. The Mutha Cussa. Got up it, didn't walk. Thats an accomplishment. I dont know how to describe it. Unless you've ran there idk if you know how much it wipes you out. The cadence kinda takes a hit after it. There were a ton of Lehi people on the sides of the trail a little ways after it cheering us on and I wanted to speed up for them to make it look like I was killing it but I was going like 6:30 pace and there was nothing I could do about it haha. Mile 3 split was 6:05. Held on pretty well. Joe started a lot faster than me so he was coming back to me, but I didn't have enough to catch him by the end. He got 17:06, I got 17:10. 7th, so first team varsity. Got a sick shirt. I was very happy with myself and the team. We took second behind AF and ahead of Weber. 35, 76, 91. Thomas had an awesome race and finished in 17:18 and 8th place. Then Ryan in 14th, Collin did good. Austin didn't run because he had some pain in his foot, he got it checked and its not a stress fracture. So thats good. Guppy got 4th overall in the girls varsity and the team got 3rd so shout out to them! 2.75ish cooldown with the homies around the course.

Shout out to Asa for hosting a sick Utah vs. Utah St. viewing party thing. Shout out to Papa Hagert for coming out and supporting Lehi XC today! Shout out to Mama Biles for cheering me on and the herriman volunteers for heckling me after the race. You guys the real mvp's. In the words of Kallie Bunnell. h8ers are my motiv8ers.
