My name is Carson Horspool and I like to party. I'm a Senior at Pine View High School in St. George Utah. Captain of the Cross Country team.

5:40 avg for death run 6:25 avg for whole run

Death ruuuunnnnnnnnnnnn. Freaking epic. I executed my strategy exactly as planned and ran 2 miles really fast. Was shooting for 10:50ish but ended up running like 11:30 or soemthing. Held my ground about 125 meters ahead of the chase pack and 200 in front of the chase pack chase pack. Chase pack chase pack ended up catching the chase pack and became the chase pack. I was dying towards the end and they were definitely gaining on me. Alex made it about 100 meters behind me and wasn’t really gaining any ground because I just went ham. I had those thoughts like “oh I’m so dead they’re definitely gonna catch me” but I shut them tf down and I think it was actually very good practice for times like that in races. Overall like a 5:40 tempo for 5 miles so hats was super fun. Leg didn’t hurt too bad after and but I iced it for a while.

Turns out it was my hip flexor not my IT band. I asked the wrong person I guess.. but luckily I’ve been doing the wrong stretches for an it band and I’ve actually been stretching my hip flexor so thats good. Ready for the 6 min test tomorrow

I had my doubts... but the plan worked! That was a good tempo.

I didn�t, and that�s why it worked.
