Didn't ride the bus so I could get more sleep. Warmed up a mile and a half, wasn't as nervous as yesterday. Gun went off and I got out to where I wanted to be, near the back but still within striking distance. Hung there for about 3 laps then slowly started picking people off and getting back to the inside. Kicked really hard and passed some more people to finish 8th. Good race, focused on smiling and enjoying the moment. Might've been a little too conservative but happy with the 3 sec PR at elevation, especially after racing yesterday. Also scored is a point so that was cool. Cooled down with my bro at the indoor track through in 4 fast laps at different points, last speedy running of the season. Good season, happy with the 9 seconds off my mile and the 9:14 I ran at Arcadia. Feel like I enjoyed this seasons training the most out of any seasons so far. Excited to get stronger and faster this summer for XC
