Got to the course and walked around it for a while since my race didn't start till 11:00. The varsity race was set up a little different for this race because Mason, Aaron, Christian, and Nathan were in the elite race so shout out to them. Warmed up for 1.5 strides after and dynamics yah know the routine. Then we got to the start line. This race was crammed packed full of kids. They had to even have a funnel start to separate us in half. Gun goes off and I wanted to try and get out quick but I got boxed in which was kinda bad for this race; the funnel ended and I was just trying to keep pace with Austin and Kedric. First mile was about 10 seconds slower than what I had hoped for with a 5:36, but I knew that it might happen because of the crowd of kids. Hung in with until towards the end of the second lap. My form started to go to crap. And with about 50m left Austin passed me but I alright with it, it was still a fun race. #CherokeeNation
