2 for 2! US team repeats as international champions at the Ras na hEireann 6k XC Race

Weather wasn't too bad. Cold and windy, but no rain. Course was soft and very rough footing with lots of turns. Times don't reflect the efforts put into this race. They said it was by far the most competitive field they've had so for us to put 5 guys in the top 11 was pretty solid. I was happy with my effort and I'm pretty sure that I couldn't have run much better than I did with my current fitness. I hung onto the lead pack longer than in the 5k on thursday and didn't lose as much ground when I was dropped. I'll have more to talk about when I get back... but now, we're gonna go spend the rest of our monopoly money at the bar before we leave in 8 hours.
