Race: Deseret News 10K (6.2 Miles) 00:45:41
Total Distance
8.00

Today was the Deseret News 10K. When I got to Research Park by the start, I ran about 2 miles with various people from my team and then did strides. The start was very crowded, and we did a countdown from 10 for the start. I got out too fast, because my first mile was under 6 minutes, maybe a PR, I don't know for sure. At mile 2, I got a really bad sideache and started crying. A lady passing by told me the best way to help it was to put my tongue on the roof of my mouth and breath deeply with my nose. It really helped for the next few miles. Going down South Temple was really long, I thought it would never end! At the mile 5 marker, I decided that I was just going to suck it up and push the last mile, but then I got another sideache, this one was a lot worse, as if someone was jabbing needles into my kidney. I started crying again, but when I saw the finish, I widened my stride. I wasn't too happy with my overall time. Sure my goal was to be in the 40-50 minute range, but now that I really think about it, it was SLOW. I also wish I hadn't accidentally put my chip on my trainers, because it would've been better for my legs if I had worn my racers. Ugh today was just a terrible race for me.

Time to refocus on the upcoming XC season only a few weeks of summer training left. Make the best of this time. Push yourself to the next level. We can learn many things from each race good and bad. Your time is not that slow, many would love to have run it especially with the adversity you had to over come.

I run faster in xc season against other high schools because in road races I have this mental thing telling me that there are a ton of adults that will beat me, but in high school races it's all the same age and I feel like I have a better shot at it.
