Running to the Finish of XC Season

The end of Cross Country season is in sight with most teams having only a few weeks left to race.  There will surely be many personal records in the upcoming weeks and we hope everyone has a great end to the season.

We've talked to many coaches and athletes this season and it's been fun hearing about everyone's favorite courses.  Not surprisingly, very few love really hilly courses =)

What is your favorite type of course or run? 

Cross Country Invites Rule!

This past weekend we attended the annual Bellevue XC Invitational at Lake Sammamish State Park.  It was a beautiful fall day, and a superbly run meet meet with over 30 school and around 1200 athletes. 

We talked to a ton of runners throughout the day, and it was so fun hearing how many of them ran personal records.  That's something we absolutely love about the sport.  It doesn't matter what place you come in.  You can come in last and still set a PR!  The kids were so proud with some of them running their fastest time ever by a few seconds and others by a few minutes. 

We are looking forward to the rest of the season with many more personal records to come. 

Happy running!
