Nerves settling in. My oldest has his District Cross Country race this evening (I'm one of the coaches so I'm anxious on two accounts).
He has to finish in the top 15 to go to the Regional Finals. As of now his best time puts him at 22. He needs to shave a minute off his PR of 19:53 for the 5000m. Our team has to finish in the top 3 to move the entire team on and we're currently looking at about a 5th place finish with our current scores. Been hit hard by injuries this year and missing one of our better runners.
He's worked really hard and although it's going to be tough....he continually surprises me...I'm just hoping for his sake he can do it.
I'm sh***ing bricks right now and the race isn't for 5 hours
