After a short little hiatus I am back. Figures there's no better time than after Bob Firman. Jamie put me in the Varsity race instead of the Elite race which admittedly made me pretty angry but I kept it to myself and let it motivate me to prove myself. Looking at past years results if I wanted to medal and get top 20 I was going to need to get a 16:55 or lower which I knew I could do. Race started off fast, like really fast, I was in about 50th at mile 1 and it was a 5:11. I wanted to start out reserved and then pass everyone that started out too fast, and that's exactly what I did. Through the second mile it was a game of passing and closing. Second mile was a 5:21 so I slowed down a bit from the first but it was much more consistent than I normally am, also PR'ed my 2 mile with a 10:32 lol. I ran past Jamie right after the two mile and she gave me a count but I wasn't sure if she said 26th or 36th. I went with 36 and knew I had to start passing and making moves fast. Moved well through the third mile and once I got to the hill it was all or nothing to get in the top 20, right before the final u-turn Jamie told me I had to catch green. Except there were two green jersey's in front of me. One was farther ahead than the other so he became the target, kicked it in hard and ended up with 19th and feel confident knowing that I know what works for me.
