Today was the Viking invite. We usually go to Soldier Hollow this weekend, but they ran it super early this year which is a bummer. Revelli said this course was super hilly, but it was actually pretty flat overall with only a few small hills. I didn't expect too much from myself going in considering I've been sick these last few days, but I was feeling decent while warming up besides having to go blow my nose a few times. It wasn't a very big field so when the gun went off I didn't worry too much about getting out really hard, and just sat back and moved up slowly over the first 800 or so with the AF guys until we got to the front pack. After about 1200 Zack, Christian, Casey, and Mckay were all pulling away so I just tucked in with a group of about five guys. I wasn't feeling great so I was content to just sit with these guys and let them pull me along. Once we hit the track they all took off and I didn't feel good enough to really kick so I just ran it in and took tenth. If I was feeling like I did at BYU I think I could have gotten fifth, but overall I am very happy with how I did all considering. The team did very well also. We had our top four in the top twenty, and Jamison was just off medaling in 21st. Him and Seth both ran big PR's, and were closing in on Zack at the end. They didn't say team scores but we definitely got second behind AF.
