Preparing for XC PSAC Championships

Preparing For PSAC Championships 

     PSAC Championships are this weekend at Edinboro. Our team here at Slippery Rock will take our top 12 guys and compete against all of the other teams in the conference. Two weeks after PSAC Championships we will take our top 8 guys to compete at Regionals at Lock Haven. The top team at regionals and the top five individuals will advance to nationals. This is a very stressful part of the season.  We want everything that we have worked for to pay off, as we have spent hours out of each day for months preparing for this.  We have spent months now doing tough workouts, long runs, and lifting weights. We have been prepping our bodies for this exact moment since May. For right now, we just have to focus on this weekend. We have been preparing for this part of our season for months now. We have put in more work than most people realize. When the starting cannon goes off this Saturday at 11 o'clock, all we can do is believe in ourselves and in our training that we have done.

Great job on making PSAC second team and placing first for the team. Your work definitely paid off.

PSAC Championships Reflection

Image
     10/26/2                                        PSAC Championships Reflection      It was a muddy course when we first got there. Then the women raced before the men, so they tore up the course even more. The whole team was in a good mood from the time we got on the bus until the starter gun went off. Once the race started, I was engulfed by runners. It is quite an experience hearing 300 feet pounding the ground at 5 flat pace. I positioned myself pretty well off the gun. There was mud flying everywhere. Throughout the race I slowly worked my way up, picking people off one by one. I ended up finishing 30th with a 2 second PR which I did not expect with the muddy course. I also mad the All PSAC 2nd team. Afterwards we had a cookout. It was an awesome day.
