New England Private School Cross Country Runnng Championships

WOW, what a mouthful!

9/9/08
No song
Weather....questionably dry
warm?

Well yesterday we had Nep...somethings at Marinopollis our last cross country race of the year against tons 24 other private schools in New England. It was bout a 4.5 or less hour drive south which most of us slept the duration of.
*refer to photo* What a day, whoof! We started out from gould at 7 am, and got to our destination about 11:15 and the mens varsity race started at 1:30. By my standards, the race course was boring, but the excitment to run with 160 other men was overwhelming! I placed 41st for Varsity, pulling 3rd position for our team, while Andrew Nesbitt, placed 7th and Henry 6th in the overall results. Congratulations to them. Personally, my race hurt. I had excruciating pains in my stomach the whole time i raced, which is unfortunate :(. Gould team spirit was unmatched, our sportsmanship was unique, and our results proved that we are moving up as men placed 5th overall out of 24! The ride home was dark and rainy. Just as the folks in the back of the bus who were constantly splashed by the water from the emergency hatch which was stuck open...oops!


Today's workut

More importantly, today i had a 3.5 hour L1 workout on the plan so my father and I took a hike up Speckled Mtn in Evans Notch. The workout was nice, easy and continuous and I'm looking forward to the day off tomorrow to finish lots of homework!





Well it's almost that time again...as flurries begun to fall the skiers that have trained so hard throughout the summer months begin to see the last of their dryland training for the year! Soon we will all be on snow and racing will begin.
