First official meet of the season! Week after week of unseasonable rain meant bog-like conditions last week. A usually-tame course became one of much contention, especially as the meet went on and the course was subject to more foot traffic. Lots of mental battles out there: The more difficult the course, the longer it takes to run, and the more minutes you have to fight. The race becomes less about the clock and more about the run itself--and how you respond to the experience. Every one stuck it out and is stronger for it. Some great team and individual performances, too!
