First leg of the forest relay. In a normal year I would not run first, but I was excited for the experience. Goal was to stay with the pack through the arena, plan a route to 1, and then run my own race. I didn't have the speed to stay with anyone for long, but I had a clean race with (I think) good routes. The terrain was amazing and I felt good physically. This was fun. The rain even held off until after I finished! Hopefully next time I'll have the speed to stay with a pack.
