Well, we had some fast racing this morning at Sierra. On a rolling course that could be described as having two moderate hills, and not a lot of downhills, we had two runners shatter twenty minutes, by placing in the top three. We also had three runners going under twenty four, a whole bunch of middle schoolers whipping the ol' coach, and that coach re-discovering some long dormant speed. Here are the results:
Derek blazed to the victory in 17:05, even saying he could have run faster in a group. Wow!!
Keagen took it out fast, and held that pace for the whole race, beating his previous best by one minute with a 18:15.
Lots of male and female middle school XC runners went under 21 minutes, including both seventh and eighth graders.
Kelli, Melanie and Katelyn ran a solid 23 minutes, even having to stop to assist some runners along they way. :)
And the ol' Coach, yours truly, slapped on the Trion-Z, and scorched the course in 21:22, his first competitive 5 km race in a very long time. Now that we have that data, I am can start running some intervals and tempo runs with the team!!
Great job this morning everyone, we helped raise a lot of money for Sierra, and I think everyone had a ton of fun! Thanks to the race organizers, all the volunteers, and the mayor of Parker for providing the play-by-play.
