Running race 19:33 [5] 5.0 km (3:55 / km)
The XC State meet over in Pasco went really well! Guys and girls teams each placed 3rd, I placed 16th, and I had a PR by 17 seconds.
I was leading Carlyn and myself through the 1 mile mark (6:08), at which point saw Sarah not too far ahead, so decided to catch up with her. I ran right next to or right behind her for the rest of the race (although I was unsure if I would be able to maintain her pace for the whole race), and Carlyn was never far behind. Our 2 mile split was about 12:30. Carlyn caught up with us around the 3 mile mark, and it was really awesome to be able to run with the two of them in a pack for the last part of the State meet! The race came down to the sprint for the finish, where another girl tried to pass us, but I was able to outsprint her.
We ran 1.5 miles for warm up before the race, and after the race we did a short cool down, only 3/4 mile.
