MURRAY!!!! Wow what an awesome course/race. About an hour before the race me & Brianna were running around cheering & she frikkin sprained her ankle. So that made it so she couldn't race with me which was a huge bummer. There were 2 open races & I was in the second one so I warmed up alone (mostly looking for the varsity girls on their cool down, turns out they were receiving their 3RD PLACE AWARD) then I went and put on my spikes & went to the start. I got out really good & all on the top part of the course I just chilled behind like 3 girls. Then when we turned the corner to go down the big hill I surged ahead and took the lead. I didn't know where I was going so I got lost a couple times but found my way back. I felt really really strong all throughout the race, after going up then back down the huge hill I was so tired but I kept my steps short and quick then went up the super big ending hill and that one killed me too. But I kept it going & ended up 1st in my race (12th overall cuz Davis & AF). I was very pleased with my time because I thought I got 19:05 but the results had me at 19:00. I really wish I would've got under 19 but I'm super duper happy about this race & I know it's cause my training is finally paying off and I'm finally getting out of this plateau I've been in for what feels like forever. Wow I'm just so happy rn
