Graeme, haven't heard from you in a while! How'd the season go?
My XC season went pretty well. Finished 30th out of 300 in the BC hish school champs. If I ran xc last year I wouldn't have qualified for provincials, so it was a pretty big improvement. Two weeks later I ran a 19:11 6k at a local xc race, which was a significant pb. Bad timing though Smile Getting ready for some road races now and the track season isn't far away... I can't wait!

And I've still been around the forums a lot, I just havn't been posting. I can't keep up with these intellectual "discussions" since you guys know so much more than I do. Very Happy

Awesome, sounds like you're continuing to progress rapidly.

Yeah, but you're running so much faster than us, especially those of us not running. Smile

Thanks, I had been going for sub 20 for a while, so I was really pleased. I'm gonna have to be running comfortably into the 18 minute range next year if I want to get a top spot at provincials. *crosses fingers*

With how much you've improved the past year, you may well be pushing the high-17's...

Hey I'm sure this will sound like a stupid question, but what is a hurdle mark? I played football in high school. I have no idea what to look for on this thing. I see some little hash marks that are alternating yellow and blue? How many feet from my start point is the finishing point for one mile after four laps? That's all I really need to know.

Nevermind. It's 30.66 feet. so I'll just mark off that distance past the start point and after four laps that's the one mile mark. Cool.

High 17s would be awesome. I'd have a good shot at winning too. And that means scholarships! But I guess I shouldn't ge too ahead of myself, a lot of training to do between now and then.

Jafar, the yellow and blue marks are probably the men's and women's hurdle marks (either high's or intermediate's), but I can never remember which is which. Sounds like you've got the right idea for marking off the additional distance, though.

Graeme, just keep doing what you've been doing...
