| The goals I had coming into the meet included: | |||||||||
| Grade | |||||||||
| 1. Put together a complete race | A- | ||||||||
| 2. Manage the race well | A | ||||||||
| 3. Beat Buffalo | A | ||||||||
| 4. Beat all teams from our region | A | ||||||||
| 5. Top-10 finish | A | ||||||||
| In our sport there is a time when it is most important to be running at your best and, to a certain degree it doesn't matter | |||||||||
| what you've done prior to that time. Although we have positive things to show for the initial portion of our season, | |||||||||
| we hadn't jelled as a team before Penn State. Our race here sends a clear signal that we're on the right track and that | |||||||||
| we're coming together at the right time. I had some questions in the days prior to the race -- would we be able to handle | |||||||||
| a 6km race? Would we be able to handle running in a field of over 300 runners? Would we be flat, tired, and sore from | |||||||||
| the week's training? Would we be able to rebound from All Ohio? Were we healthy? The performance of each of you | |||||||||
| answered those questions in the most positive way. That's good news. The better news is that we will be better for | |||||||||
| the MAC Championships. We have a lot in the tank (note that Beata, Jennie, and Brandi averaged a faster pace than | |||||||||
| what they actually ran for their first mile),and the course, competition, and our training will have us ready to go. | |||||||||
