Just writing this as one of my first blogs so that anyone that reads it will see this one. On December 5th I ran up in Portland with 5 other individual runners from california. I was third place in the D1 state finals and was able to qualify as the fifth man overall. Nike paid for everything as i ran as the Riverside Track Club. We arrived at the airport and were taken by charter busses to our hotel. After we were taken to the Nike Headquarters and we got fitted with shoes and spikes. Then the next day we went to the course and ran it as it was about 40 degrees warm. We later went to Nike again as we were able to do different thing to entertain ourselves. The next day which was the race, it was 30 degrees out and everyone was bundled up. The start was awesome as 200 runners went out and fireworks exploded above. The pack never spread out as I started the race in about 60th and finished in 25th as California schocked many people as we finally ran well on that course. The individuals as a team won the duel with the south individuals as we won by only a couple points. Fun race:)
