We had perfect weather and fast races Saturday at the Fort Steilacoom Invitational.  The boy's team finished 4th out of the 43 teams entered in the boys race, and thus we added one more plaque to the collection.  For eight of our team members this was the first 5K they have ever run.  Almost all of the veterans on our team ran significantly faster than last year.  Given that this race came at the end of a difficult week of training and racing (in the past 8 days we have run three races and one interval workout), our team did great. Just think how fast everyone will run later in the season when we back off our training and race fresh!

Saturday was our first meet of the season–the Tahoma Coed Relays.  For the first time in several years the weather was nice for this meet, and we didn't have to have our picnic in the rain.  The purpose of this meet is to have fun, to gain some experience racing in a low-key atmosphere, and to do a little team bonding.  We did keep everyone's times in the race, however, which was roughly 3,000 meters.  Click below for the times.

We have now completed our first two weeks of practice, and we are off to a great start.  On Friday we ran our team time trial on the Lindbergh course, but we only ran 4,000 meters (not the complete 5K course).  As you know, our course is hilly and slow.  Click below for the race results and splits:
