I ran a time of 27:17, not a bad time, but i felt terrible. 80 F and sunny, after a week of 50 and rainy. Legs were dead, i think i am starting to feel the training. The winner went under 25 and bunch of Kenyans were the leaders. The first mile was slow, like the leaders were 5:00 and i was like 5:17, i think i was winning the first 100 meters due to excellent box position. Anyway i know Marc and FSU had a race. How did you guys do?
Scott
P.S. Jaron any races coming up?

Sounds like a pretty solid race Scott. Look to dip below 27 at the next race. Sounds like you just need to relax early on instead of going out so hard. I have no races coming up other than the "big one". Just consistent, solid training the rest of the way.
Frostburg ran at Bloomsburg on Saturday. I just glanced at the results and saw that Ruble ran 27:07 for second. I think Marc ended up as the eighth man, but he was only 5-6 seconds off of number seven.

Yea that's pretty much the jist of it. Curt ran really well especially with the course conditions. The girls team also had a good showing with Jen leading that pack. The results are on this link: www.bloomu.edu/sports/xc06/BU06MEN.HTM and the girls link www.bloomu.edu/sports/xc06/BU06WOMEN.HTMAs for my race individually, I was 8th at the end but was high as 5th and was moving up but I underestimated the last 2 miles of the race since it was my first 8K. I came through the 3 miles in 17:54. I tried to hold it but fell apart halfway through. Hopefully next race (thingyinson Invite 8K and 4K) I will run better since I am more familiar with the course. Its the same course as the Reebok Challenge held at the high school. Best of luck with everyone in the coming weeks. I'll keep everyone up to date. |

scott and marc- just wait until you can close the last two miles as fast as the winning time at 1A west regionals each of the past two years- then you will know you are used to the 8k-
or wait til you run a 10k and run miles 4-6 in 11:30, and pretty much get dominated- then you wont know anything, other than that i can laugh really hard at you
good work and keep it up
DAN

Thankfully for DIII I never have the opportunity to run a 10K. I did run Moonshine and I think that was good enough for me. What is everyone's next race? We have about 3 weeks until dic kinson. Curt and Andy and the Girl's Team is running at Pre-nationals this week so best of luck to them and whenever everyone's next race is. Scott, are you guys still going to dic kinson???
