i never thought i would miss GVP, but going back and running there was awesome. it was a perfect day for a cross country race, right around 50 degrees and sunny. i forgot my spikes at the hotel, but i had a pair of flats to run in, so it wasn't too bad. luckily the course was dry and the grass wasn't too long. the rochester alumni were team skunk car and or uniforms consisted of black t-shirts with the sleeves cut off and two white stripes down the back with black compression shorts. the best omen of the day was seeing a rabid skunk jogging along with us as we ran from fauver to GVP. the race itself was OK for me. I expected to run a 27:30, so a 27:46 wasn't too far off. the first mile was 5:22, the 2 mile was 11:00 (5:38), 3 mile was 16:40 (5:40), and 4 mile was 22:30 (5:50), then i closed in roughly 5:16 (short last mile). we beat the UR freshmen by 2 points if you score the meet head-to-head dual meet style. after the meet shower trained and watched football and rambo for a bit before heading to the track house.
hip hurt during the warmup and cooldown, but not during the race, luckily. i did get a minor cramp around mile 2.5-3, but it went away after a minute or two.
