It started hailing during the cooldown. I was right by my car, so I grabbed an umbrella and held it sideways to use as a shield.

I did 6.5 miles in the late afternoon.  It was really nice.  There was no wind and the temperature was perfect.  I hope cross country season is just like tonight.

A.M. 5 miles.  10 sets of 1 min on, 1 min off.

Afternoon 5 miles to Shriners hospital and back to the track, followed by a 300.

Once again I put my team ranking on division place.  We ran as a pack (the top six on our team) for the first 3k.  Up to that point we were behind the top four Cottonwood runners.  As soon as we reached the 3k mark, we broke the pack.  I'm not sure of the exact standings, but I think we took first, third, fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth.  The fastest Olympus runner only beat our seventh man.  Both boys and girls did the pack run, and both teams took first, so we remain undefeated.

 How would you like to be Cottonwoods' coach right now?

A.M. @ Sunnyside:  Tempo run

Afternoon run to legacy bridge and back.

We only did two miles so we could be rested for BYU tomorrow.  We then waited two hours for the photographer to show up.  I was 45 minutes late for work (which is absolutely no big deal)  and today is payday, so I'm one step closer to recovering from the deficit of the upcoming Minnesota trip. 

My time on my card is different from the online results. I think the card is more accurate because according to the card, I beat someone by .2 seconds. I know I barely beat someone in the last meter.

I'm going off the distance everyone with a satellite had.  I bet the same guy who measured this measured the Bear Lake 10k.  That race was a mile over!
