KVAC's @ Cony 10/16/2010



Lets all take a moment to praise the Cony team in putting up with their home course all season :P I must say, this has always been my least favorite course to run on, and I know a lot of athletes would have rather raced at UMA like always, but unfortunately it was not so this year. The race was not the kind of situation you'd expect to run a PR in either, so well done to those of you who accomplished that feat. On the girl's side, Katie McMahon was the only girl to break 20. No one in the boy's race broke 17, which clearly demonstrates the kind of race it was. Mt. Ararat dominated on both sides. Mt Blue boys earned a second place team finish with three boys making the All Conference KVAC team. The girls finished in third with two in the All Conference team. Lets just say I did not have a stellar performance. In fact, I think it is safe to say that KVAC's 2010 now tops my worst race ever list. 22:43 is worse than ridiculous; my previous 5k time was a 20:32. The week leading up to the meet was a sick one for me; I missed two practices and a day of school. It was kind of awful having to hold my mouth for half of the race to keep things down, although when I ran by my dad on the course he was like "don't hold anything back, let it up if you have to." Oh god gross :/ Special recognition to Sarah Wade for placing second in the JV race and ending up fourth on our team! Looking forward to Regionals at my FAVORITE course next weekend :)
