Hilly course at Story
Pretty good navigation, some very well placed controls but I read the contours well and nailed them. Picked up the last 3 controls resulting in significantly slower speed.
Ran the course in shorts. There were some briars but the visibility was good throughout.

Weird race. Someone stepped on my shoe in the first few steps of the race, then I eventually decided to put it on properly after about 200m. I spent about 10-15 seconds putting it on and was behind literally everybody. By the time we started up the first hill, I had caught up to the back of the race. I had to pass a lot of people, so I surged whenever I had a chance to move up. In the woods, there were some windy sections where I couldn't move past anybody, so I sprinted the short straightaways to get past people. By the time I made it out of the woods and back into the more open part of the course, I could see Dominik but he was far in the distance. On the final loop, a few people passed me because I was dead from all the surging. In the finishing stretch, I passed one Roncalli runner who thought he beat me and eased off in the last 20 meters. Wrong! I put in a final surge to secure 25th place. I beat Howard and thus maintained my varsity spot for sectionals next week and likely for the rest of the tournament. Throughout the race I thought he was still i front of me so I pushed forward but I had apparently passed him without noticing him in the midst of all the other people I was passing in the woods.
