First Cross Country Meet!

Well my first cross country meet was last Friday in Malad. It was an invitational so there were lots and lots of schools there. I was a little nervous for my first race on the high school team but twenty six minutes and eighteen seconds later I was crossing that finish line and I was glad I had ran it. It wasn't the best 5k race I have ever ran but it was my first cross country race and I finally understand why its called cross country. Your not just running down the side of the road. We ran through and dead chopped down corn field, through a parking lot, across the lawn, on a trail that had gopher holes down the middle of the trail, and along the side of the road. I learned that in cross country you pretty much just run no matter what the trail is like.
