For xc we did golfcourse, which is probably my favorite. Clara and I pushed it up the hill, but dropped from the first group of guys when it got flat. My watch only lasted the first mile, which was an 8:15 (all uphill). The pack of sophmore boys caught us and we just stuck with them the rest of the time. We extended onto the trail, and Carson was ahead of me and the pack was behind. I was feeling up to going with him, but I didn't wanna drop Clara. When we got into Birch, the group caught up. Tucker cleared some crazy puddles. When we got into the canyon, Clara and I sped up. Jaxon hauled passed us, catching Carson. They finished about 20ish seconds ahead of us at 7:39 pace, so we were at about a 7:45. It was a fun day. I probably should have ran more.
Later, Sarah, Clara, and I went on Crimson trail to hike. It was a beautiful day, but as we were coming down the wind picked up. When we reached the trees towards the end, it began hailing/raining and there was some lightning. We ran the rest of the way, getting soaked and muddy. Sarah was hauling ahead; I just jogged. It was an adventure. I'll count another half mile.
