Master runner

Met Roger at Moore high and got a quick warm up. Had a lot of pre race butterflies. I talked with Garrett before the race and to M Rabus. Took my normal 5hr an hr before the race. I didn't eat supper the night before and wondered if that might have a negative effect on my race. 

I toed the line with all the W Moore XC kids, they took off like a bullet for the 1st k and when we hit the hill they quickly came back to me. I think there was about 4 of them. The first kid i passed was really suckin air bad.  At the first mile I took the lead and hit the pace i was looking for (5:15) and continued to prob about 2.5k up the hill.  I put a small surge in going down the hill under the RR bridge. When i topped the hill on the other side and turned back n i put another in just for safe measure. I didn't look back i felt i had a comfortable lead and just watched the finish line get closer and closer. I didn't realize that i was so close to my PR till i saw the clock at 16- then tried to pick it up a little but was just shy. Next week my PR will fall. Hoping for a nice cool off between now and then. 

Goal for this race was to improve from my last race and try to get more comfortable with pre-race. 

Roger did well on his race too I think he was right where he wanted to be.

I raced in my Adios Boost for the first time on the road. they felt good. I took my streaks and was gonna race in them but made a last sec change.

Looking forward to Brookhaven
