Great race today at regionals. I went in knowing if I didn’t get top 6 I wouldn’t be able to continue my season into sectionals. But I didn’t feel nervous or anxious about it and I think I felt the most relaxed I’ve ever felt before a race. I got out slow similar to how I raced at conference and moved up little by little throughout the race. I wasn’t even thinking about whether I would make the sectionals lineup and instead just tried to race as best as I could. I ended up 17th overall and running a decent time of 16:32. I am super grateful to be apart of the sectionals line up and I am excited to compete next weekend. I think I will stick with the strategy of going out slower since it’s been working great for me. But I also want to try and pack up with Cole & Mark so we can work together to try and minimize that gap between our 4 and 5 runners.
