The Falcon Invite this morning was...ok I suppose. Many of the guys felt horrible. Some ran as much as a minute slower than last week. The only two I know of who did well were Danny and Ash. The girls all looked pretty happy after their race, however, so apparently they did pretty well. Guppy was second place I believe. I didn't like the course all that much but I guess it's not terrible (it's a lot better than Aurora's aweful course). The first open field wasn't as bad as I expected since most of the fans were over there. Russ had us run about 10-15 seconds faster per mile than we did last week, and I personally was unable to do it. I managed to hold the pace for about 1 mile, then started shutting down. I tried to let out the monster but it wasn't there until the last 100 meters. After the race some of the other teams ran down to the beach while me, Ash, Braun, and Dave rolled up the turf by the service hill. Nearby a hawk was floating in the wind, just hovering in place over the bluff. Every once in a while it would dive down to the ground to catch a mouse or something. Or maybe it was just having fun. Who knows.

I wish I could fly.
