The cross country course was CRAZY today. It was REALLY muddy and even the winner could barely keep a 4 minute pace per km. It was a very slow, slow race, but a very tough one! If you wanted a good time, you really had to horse through the mud, and I don't have that much, a-hem, horse power in me. I can be a fast and smooth runner on the roads, but then throw me on some soft, muddy mud (giggle) cross-country course and my strength is gone after a few K. It didn't go horribly, but it didn't go great. I am REALLY pumped for my road races because I know that I'll be a lot better off on the roads than on the mud…It WAS a short cross country season though, only 2 races! But like I've mentioned, cross country champs wasn't really on my "A-list" this year. Bring on those roads, baby!!!!
