I haven't had a chance to run yet today, but I went to talk to Coach Eyestone today, and he had some really good things to say. He says if I can get under 15:00 in the 5k, I'll be in a good position for XC. My 15:36 converts to about 15:16 at sea-level, so I don't have too far to go. He also encouraged me to find a sea-level race where I can really go for that barrier, so I'm starting my search. There's a UW/WSU dual-meet in Pullman, WA... not sure about the altitude, but I'll be in the area that weekend. I think Oregon also has one that weekend -- either one should produce some fast times.

PM - 10 miles up Hobble Creek Canyon... absolutely loved the weather. For some reason, rain and clouds put me in a good mood. 1:10:43

When I was a Freshman in college and needed a "last-chance" meet to qualify for nationals in the steeplechase, Pullman was the closest meet I could find, so I made the drive from Utah to race. I'm not sure about the elevation either, but you'll find great facilities and quality competition. Good luck.
