Regional Cross Country Meet



And they're off!
8 teams from throughout the region.
With my daughter Ranae in the pack headed towards.....
running towards.....
the unknown.....
the never before seen.....

Facing a monster.
Something rarely seen in all of Florida.
And with no experience whatsoever,
and smiles on their faces,
they run straight towards it.

A GIGANTIC HILL.
Oh the terror.
The speculation before the race was palpable.
The wonder. The excitement.
The thrill.
And Ranae was even more thrilled when she finished with another PR.
(personal record)
2 miles in 16 minutes and 58 seconds.
Wow.
She thinks it might have helped to have the hill.
(At least the going down part.)
