My First Cross Country Meet

My first cross country meet was on 9/20. Unfortunately, I twisted my ankle the day before the meet but luckily it felt slightly better after I iced it. My friend Will said that the race was about 1.5 miles long. So my goal was to run it in about 11 minutes. The only way I could do this was to start out a little fast but not so fast that I would burn all of my energy up front. I have never ran cross country before and this is my first year doing so, it was a very fun race for me. I ended the race 63rd which was better than I had expected out of 100 runners. I was the third runner for Langley in the 8th grade boys race when I finished. I had also had a picture in the newspaper!!
