This Saturday, December 8th, I will race the 2012 USATF National Club Cross Country Championships in Lexington, KY with Club Northwest. I'm excited to put the cross country spikes on and charge some grass hills!!

(Last year's race at the Jefferson Golf Course in Seattle, WA where I was 3rd overall in 19:59.)

(My brand-spanking-new cross country spikes for Saturday, the Mach 14, that I broke in today during my workout. They feel great!!)

Here is a description of the race, map of the course, and a link to pictures of the course:
