First Race

Well yesterday I had my first meet at Virginia Tech which was the Virginia Tech Cross Country Relays. The race went really well, on my first leg I ran 11:13 and passed 3 virginia tech runners. I recovered pretty well and then ran another 11:13 and passed 2 virginia tech guys for the team win. My leg didn't feel too bad, I was happy with the race and it felt pretty smooth. I didn't all out kill myself but just got a feel for racing again. My pace was 5:09 and my overtime for 7k was 22:27 which was good. Overall it was an awesome meet, a lot of fun. It was really cool to wear the Liberty uniform and be apart of this team. I love the team and love the God centered attitude that is present. We cooled down around the Virgina Tech campus shirtless which was fun, its such as nice campus. I am really excited to race at Coastal Carolina which is a 6k on Sept. 17 at Mrytle Beach :)

    The second felt similar, I felt like I wasn't extremely agressive but it was my first cross country race in a year so I felt like I got a good feel for things. I was glad I hit the same split, 5:09 pace was pretty good. During the second interval my legs were definately more tired.

    So mom wants to know why it was cool for a bunch of skinny runners to run around a campus half naked...

    Also, how many of your top runners ran yesterday, and did Vteck run there best guys?
