I wasn't sure how this race was going to turn out considering how it was only my second week back. I warmed up with Adam and Evan. I love racing at dusk and the track surface at Lake Braddock was extrememly nice. I was not looking forward to this race all day but when I got to the line I felt good. I went out really controlled unlike all the other kids in my race and just mainted a even pace thru the first mile. Alex Corbett was leading almost the entire way and I was in the chase pack until lap 6 and 7 when everyone dropped off. I was about 10 m behind on the bell lap and felt good. I wanted the W so I kicked hard. I caught Corbett on the homestretch and won my first race in Virginia. It felt good to catch someone on the bell lap.
