Ladies,
I hope the soccer players did well today. I didn't get a chance to follow them, so I'll have to wait until Monday to find out. I know how the runners did. They did great.
Today dawned another muggy mid-July day, and race conditions promised to be challenging. They were. With 100% humidity, dew points in the mid-70's, and ample sunshine, there wasn't any escaping the warm blanket thrown over the throng of runners.
Your instructions were to use this as a hard training day, a tempo if you will, with the proviso if you felt good in the third mile you could let go. I was glad to see (and hear later) you followed those instructions. This was never a race you were intended to post big numbers. This was intended to be a solid run in a race atmosphere. For some, this might have been the first time you toed the line for a race.
I don't have all the times, only general ideas of where you were. I was helping put the race on so I couldn't write things down, and I don't want to put up imprecise times publicly. I do know Danielle was just this -->][ <-- close to beating Coach Spence, and that Chelsea Scott slipped in for a P.R. The rest we'll hash out on Monday.
Carlee, way to go. I know that was a tough run, and you started feeling pretty rough by the end. It happens to everyone if they compete hard/long enough.
Carrie, the knee will be fine. Pain in the patellar tendon almost never develops into anything serious.
Madison, simply put, good job.
Keeley, get consistent with the training. It takes a lot of sting out of racing if you do. You ran today on pure talent, of which you have loads.
Zoe, solid job, as always. You are so going to be an anchor on our team next year. As in, "no way the team succeeds without you" sort of stuff.
Now to the fun stuff...
Fastest high school girl in the race - Danielle Page
Fastest girls high school team - BNL Girls
*EDIT*
Zoe was 3rd in her age group, Chelsea 4th. Sorry!
Wish I could post pictures, I really do. I got some great ones today. Oh, and ladies... my family really loved the Stack Rock photos - especially you guys bowing down to your Tiki god (me).
