"Train insane or remain the same."

Easy distance, did the Lowe's loop, kinda cold but not bad. 15min abs. Good stuff.

Half mile warm up then a mile of speed changes on the turf, I went barefoot probably not my best idea. Finished up three afterwards with Gups so that was trill. Basically everyone and their dog decided I'll be married by 19 so thanks for that. (Seriously people I'm still just in High School!) Saw Austin at the pool today so that was sick and I had some seriously good hot chocolate so I'd call it a productive day.

Cross Training- 10×(swim the shallow end, jog the deep end, turn around jog deep end swim shallow end to equal 50m) then 5×(200m kick the odds swim the evens) Leave for footlocker tomorrow!!!

Left for Cali around 8ish and stopped in Mesquite for a run. We ran on this paved trail for a bit and then we turned onto a dirt trail that led to this baby waterfall so that was sick.

Went to the course but instead of running it me and Guppy went on this trail that went through some neighborhoods and stuff so that was a party

Warmed up a mile and did some stretched then headed over to the start line. I got a really good start and was in a good position for the first mile around the valley loop. First mile split was a 6:07 which is pretty fast for me but that's ok cause the hills on the rest of the course slow you down quite a bit. I felt strong on the switchbacks and focused on just keeping them a consistent pace. I tried to really let my legs go on the downhill which felt really good. Then we hit that first hill and I kinda lost it. I was really tired and I slowed down a lot. But I snapped back into focus pretty good on the downhill and stayed that way for the second hill. At the top of that hill there was 800m to go so I went good on the downhill and then focused on picking up speed and getting ready to kick. Once I hit the track I started my kick and it felt really good. I passed a couple of people and finished in a 21:45.8 and 42nd place. They gave out medals to the top 48 so I got one of those which was awesome. I'm definitely happy with how I did this was a great way to finish out the year. These past four seasons have been fantastic and I'm sad to see it end.

Shutouts go to Jamie for running well in her race, she kills it. And to Connor for qualifying for Nationals! Also just to the whole team in general everyone did really well.
