Running race 17:08 [4] 2.93 mi (5:51 / mi) +15m 5:45 / mi
Hopelink Turkey Trot 5K. The course was definitely short to some degree - my watch said 2.93, the guy behind me had three miles even, so who knows. Still, even if we want to be conservative and add as much as 60-70s, I'm ahead of my high school PR. So, success!
Splits:
5:43 - good.
5:58 - bad, but includes most of the climb on the course.
5:26 (0.93; 5:51/mile) - disappointing, should have done better.
Surprisingly, I finished second, 8-10 seconds behind the leader; didn't have quite enough in me to stay with him. A little unfortunate that there weren't more guys as fast/faster than me to help keep pace. I felt quite good for the most part - this race was much less miserable than I remember HS XC races being.

Race day tomorrow! Expectations among the bettors is high - I'm sure I can prove them wrong.

Running 1:04:02 [3] 8.15 mi (7:51 / mi) +120m 7:31 / mi
It seems that my chances of making the WOC team have been effectively halved, which I find somewhat unfortunate but not entirely surprising.
