Had some worries coming into this race. But I just focused on what I could control.
We warmed up, prayed etc.
The whole first mile I was right with the top guys. The big lap I started to fall back a bit but I just had to go guts out and just work through everything. On the last lap there is the road with little pebbles where our TEAM sets up. When I ran through them they were 2 or 3 kids deep and all just screaming their lungs out. It was an amazing experience. Usually when I race I block out all the outside noise whatever (except I look for bright green hats) but I just took in the excitement and litterally ran with it. I ran up the course and turned and all I could think about was all the memories of the last 4 years. I finished 13 seconds ahead of Matt Thatcher. Awesome race.
Greatful For: my family and my thunder family
