The End of Crosscountry

Though this school day was an early release, I certainly did not get any more time at home. After the short school day ended, I boarded a bus with the crosscountry team over to the last meet of the season, a big state qualifier.

It was a cool, cloudy day - perfect for running, in my opinion. My race was three miles long, the same as always. Fortunately, the course was very flat, but it did take us through a muddy forest. I felt pretty good through the race; I didn't have to stop to walk or anything like that. I don't know my time, but I do know I finished below the 50th percentile. I finished second of the four people in my team who ran that race, which is my usual position.

Though I am clearly not a stellar runner, I do feel pretty good about my performance this season. Today marks the end of this season of races, and very possibly the end of my crosscountry experience forever. (Athletic graduation requirement: complete!)
