We warmed up doing part of the course so we wouldn't get lost which was a little under 2 miles.
I was pretty nervous because we were going against Ogden for the first time and I didn't know what to expect. Right before we were about to start, Coach was talking to Lauren and me about how Katelyn and Riley are going to go hard. I was pretty pumped right after he told us that. When we started, I felt really good, so I got all the way in the front. I just didn't feel like I was going hard enough. The first half mile I was in front of everybody which to me was CRAZY! After two girls passed me I didn't feel as crazy which was good. My first mile was around 6:11 which was dang fast. I was in third for quite a while until an Ogden girl passed me and I hung on her almost the entire time. Towards the very end she began to go the wrong way and I would have felt really bad if I beat her just because she was going the wrong way, so I was telling her "wrong way!" I feel like I pretty much let her pass me after that, then another Ogden girl passed me. At the very end I was trying to sprint to possible pass them, but I didn't have the energy. I wish I didn't let them pass me, but I wasn't thinking much.
We beat Ogden, still which was pretty good and I think our team has a pretty good chance for region.
