Seventeen years ago TODAY (3rd Thursday of October) was the City Cross Country Championship, and I was bouncing around in class all day. I even got reprimanded in my Modern European History class for figdetting. I ran a 16:21 for 3 miles on a course with a 1250' vertical change, which was the 2nd fastest time of the year on that course and the 3rd fastest ever. Unfortunately, the fastest time ever was 10 seconds ahead of me, but I still qualified for State with no problem.
It's scary that I still remember these details. If anyone wants to know the weather that day, that's still stored up there too along with the weather for in Nashville 10 days later. Jeez, gotta learn to use that power for good rather than evil...
