​Not quite what we expected. Still quite happy with a solid 3rd place, but the 9:57 wasn't quite as good. I wasn't ready for championship style racing, and I should've taken the lead at some point and tried to make a push, but I wasn't feeling to great. 600 to go and Bryson King from DH was right on my shoulder, and I really didn't have much in me. I'm surprised I ended up beating him, but like me, he barely had enough energy to even finish. This race made me realize that a 9:50 somethin can hurt just as bad as a 9:30, so might as well run the faster one. Gotta have guts next week at state and get after it. Obviously, this wasn't my meet, but I really look forward to state next week.

That's how region usually goes, unless someone decides to run like pre and make it an honest race. Lol it takes a lot of guts though. Can't wait to see how state goes for you!
