Time trial today. Did harts warm and cool. I was super nervous. I've never raced over a mile. And I only did that once last year. So I didn't know what to expect. I thought I would try to stay with kaelie and push each other but she raced early. So I thought as long as I stay right behind liz, you don't have to be up with her but stay right behind her. So after the first lap I started sketching myself out. I kept thinking "oh my heck I'm already tired I can't do 2 more laps" but I was able to calm myself down and felt a lot better. The last 800 lap I was still right behind liz but once I hit the top of the hill I just wanted to settle. I was feeling yuck and didn't think it would hurt to just come in running. But Alli started to catch up with me and by the bleachers we were pushing each other on. I don't know where the kick came from but thanks to Alli I was able to finish the race strong. I barely beat her getting 3rd out of the girls. I'm not sure what my time was though...14:somethin. Then did striders afterward with Liz and Roberts. I'm pretty happy with today. Really nervous for next week when I have to race 3 miles tho |
