So got up and got some breakfast. I was really excited to race today, especially since it was only two miles. I was the fourth leg in the relay. We warmed up quite a lot and then had to go wait for our time to race. My race went really well. I was able to stay ahead of desert hills and there was one girl in front of me, I don't remember what school she was from, but starting out she was a ways in front of me. So when Mia kept telling me to pass her I did not think I would be able to. But I kept moving up and soon was thinking, okay yeah I'm going to get her. And I did! Jumping over hay bales was fun, especially at the end they gave me the momentum I needed to push it in. I felt really good about my race. I found out my time and it wasn't really what I wanted it to be and I came in 7th on the team. But it's ok, because I just gotta learn to push a little harder when nobody is around me to push me. That's what makes it hard about a relay, but I still feel really good about it after this whole week :)
