Yesterday, the Ojai Valley School cross country team had the last meet, the league final, at Midland. We drove down for about 2 and a half hours.
Also participating were Thacher, Cate, Midland, Dunn, Besant Hill, Laguna Blanca and Providence Hall.
The birls’ race started at 3 and the boys’ at 3:30. We all ran our best and gave everything. The course is very flat and there were tiny hills but I wouldn’t call them hills. I didn’t really like the course because flat courses just give me constant pain and is not fun compared to hilly course.
Me and my roommate are about to run, listening to the instruction and course overview.
Intense,right?
My coach and I were talking about how I should run that course in the bus on the way to Midland. My strategy is always to stay maybe behind 4 or 5 girls and let them lead the race until the very end. It is then that my body tells me, “Now, sprint! It’s time to out run these girls.” The worst thing to do is to rush so I tell myself not to go in front of anyone!
The entire Ojai Valley School cross country team improved a lot and it’s sad that we can’t practice together anymore…
Good times…
I would just like to thank my coach (thebrownguy) for coaching me I couldn’t have won without him!
AWESOME CROSS COUNTRY SEASON!!!
IS IT TRACK SEASON YET?
