Tomorrow I will run my second race
as a Brooks Beast. Our distance women’s
crew is putting together a team for the club cross country championships in
Bend, Oregon. Although this race isn’t
a huge deal in the elite running world in terms of money or prestige, it is so
much fun to get to compete on a team.
Since graduating from college, the only times I have gotten to run for
other people as been representing the U.S. or last year with Team USA Minnesota
at club xc nationals. There is something
about competing for a team that can bring out the best in people, especially if
they care for one another. I am still
getting to know my teammates (Angela Bizzari, Jessica Tebo, Deb Maier, and Brie
Felnagle), but they are all awesome women, and I want to make them proud.
The course is a tough one – we are
just about always going uphill or downhill on the course, and I was winded just
doing the pre-meet. But I do well with
tough conditions and courses, so I’m excited!
