The Miner Meet: The story around it.
Post by Joffroi Holcombe | No Comments | 5 views

I know I've mentioned in a few posted this meet I got coming up. Its more then just the typical road races I've been doing so I figured I would explain it. As mentioned in my about page, I went to the University of Missouri: Rolla, a DII engineering school.  During my four years there I ran track and cross country and got pretty good at them both.  


My junior and senior year I was the school's #1 running in cross country.  I made most my friends through the team and still talk to them often.  Our schools home cross country meet was always at the start of our season and a lot of fun.  Not many schools would show up, but the alumni did an excellent job of forming their own team and having a good time. Well, my junior and senior year went by and I won our home meet each time.  Towards the end of the track season I started joking around about how I will come back and be the first alumni to win the race, and be 3 time champion.

Well, since I've moved on with my life I have still kept up my training pretty well. I can still run 15:30 5ks so I'm in pretty good shape.  The question is, am I in good enough shape to race some young college, blood.  I guess we will see this weekend when I drive back to the Rolla, MO.
