Running 23:44 [5] 5.0 mi (4:45 / mi)
Fastest time in D2 this year. Great experience being at the front of a 300+ person race. Got up to 3rd at 1.5 miles. Lacking speed on the flats but really strong on the hills. Couldn’t kick anyone down over the last 1km but also didn’t lose a place. Felt like I could go another 2km after just didn’t have the speed, that’ll come though. Especially after shocking the neuro system like that. 14th place but same time as Kale ran two years ago when he was 6th and placed 3rd at nationals. 7 weeks to nationals. The aim now is to win the team title and an individual medal.
