Went for a run in the nippy morning around the mall again. Good calm run.
Got to the course and went for a warm up. I was feeling pretty good about this race. Got to the starting line and took off our clothes to reveal our super rad uniforms. Had a nice warm up start as someone tripped the first time. Started again and I was slowly moving up. Staying with Nicole and Josie. My goal was to stay with Nicole as long as I could. I passed her up after the hill and was pushing with Josie. I felt so good the first two miles. As I was coming around the pond the second time I wanted to give in, but I didn't! And here's the weird thing is that I didn't have a very good end of the race , I kinda fell apart and I don't know why. But I'm still happy with my performance and effort. Because I stayed positive and I kept pushing. I don't know why my body wasn't responding how I wanted it to. But I didn't give up, even if it looked like I did. I really was pushing my hardest til the end. Just when I reached the grass right before the track my legs decided they were done then, which was a bummer. I guess I didn't pass out like Trevor did at the end of his race so I guess I could've pushed more, something just wasn't clicking.After I was done I felt awful, my head pounded for the next 3 hours or so, making my vision hazy. Maybe I was dehydrated or something but I felt so awful after I got done it was hard for me to do anything. I didn't get any energy til after we stopped at Wendy's. So I must've done something wrong, maybe not enough sleep or water or something and that affected my race at the end? Whatever someday I'll figure my body out and all it's issues, but it might not be till the end of the season XD so obviously not the race I wanted but I'm not agonizing over it
