This past friday was the Scott Lalibert invitational. My goal was to go out at a good pace that i could keep and be first for the team. I started out a bit too fast and by the middle of the first mile I already had a cramp and was 3rd for our team. The plan i had with Nick D. at the beginning of the race was to crawl up the hill like Tyler Toothaker had last year and power past people at the top on the grass, unfortunately this year they cut out part of the field section. As I approached the hill I decided that being 3rd for the team I wouldn't push too hard up the hill, but didn't take it too easy. I passed Colin Cundy going up the hill and was now 2nd for the team. After going down the hill on the other side and having to go up the one on the other side of the river I started to hurt. I lost Colin going up that hill. Jamison Esquibal of south portland went back and forth for awhile but I pulled ahead coming out of the woods for the final time. i followed Justin Greely going across the football field without him knowing, as I went up the rise to the finish I heard my coach yelling at me to power up it and sprint through the finish, i dug deep and caught up to Justin, it was a great finish though and i look forward to racing against him in the future to see if i can beat him. Overall combining all the teams we got 3rd however boys got 7th. Girls on the other hand god 1st!
