"I nearly went into cardiac arrest during one of our big races"

Here's my almost didn't run story... I played football 10th grade & at the end of track season the xc coach convinced me to give xc a try and so I went to summer practice and at first I had rivals on the team because I was the new football guy running with the varsity but then they became some of my best and greatest friends I ever made. Everything was new to me & I nearly went into cardiac arrest during one of our big races but through it all, we ended up making it to the State championships that year(11th) & ever since then I haven't stopped running.
