Today was solid. I woke up and hung out at school, getting work done, and tried to keep my legs up as much as I could. We got one the bus and when we got to VH I put on my tape and rolled out my back. I used the washroom and didn't clog the toilet this time!!!!! We warmed up for eight minutes and then we did continuous and fast. We popped on our spikes and I convinced a lot of the guys to go sockless which a lot of them enjoyed. It was wet and mushy and the course was going to be brutal. The gun went off and I tried to get out hot and I ended up next to Gold until we crosse the street when he finally passed me. GBN made up the whole first pack plus some south guys and Gold. At about 600 all four (main) HP guys surged to the front and I was confused why they did it so early/so late. If you're gonna move, do it at the end or right at the beginning. IDK I guess they knew what they were doing. I was right next to Shore for a while and we cruised and then he dropped me for a while. I crossed the first mile in 5:16 (I think) and was a bit behind Shore and the rest of the pack. At about 1.5 miles I made my big move past Dana overtaking him and putting a big gap on him. I started picking it up hard at two miles and was catching up to Shore and Glaizer. I caught up to Shore and we picked dit up again with about 800 to go. We were going hard and I had dropped Shore and gotten next to Alec and tried picking it up yet again. I heard But yell "You're tough! Give me a good senior season!" or something like that and i thought "I'm tougher" and tried to pass him and then he passed me but I gave it a super hard push and got pretty far ahead of him. With maybe 100 to go I got a loogie stuck in ym throat and I was dry heaving and it was horrible and sucked so bad but I finished in fifth so it was all good. HP went 123, hats off to them, good job to them. Gold was 4 and Shore was 7 which was great. We got second as a team and we took too many pictures and my feet got cold and my tape got super dirty and so did my white spike. I did a short cd with Joe and then went into the stadium for awards, got my medal, did another 10 minute cd, and then we went home. We talked for a while as a team and then went to Noodles. We hung out there for a while and it was a lot of fun. I went home, stretched, did read stuff, showered, and went to bed. Great day, gonna make Saturday greater!
