Am: easy 3ish. Mall loop. Pm: RACE! Ahh. Well we got over to the park around 11:30ish and I was pretty pumped! A little nervous but pumped. Woo. Anyway we warmed up around the course about 2 miles and we saw my sister! Woo. (She came to watch me run because apparently ever since she moved out she cares now, weird right?) (; we got back from our warm up and I was so excited because our new uniforms were a secret! Ah. When we got to the starting line I was kind of nervous but not really. I wanted them to hurry and shoot the gun but I didn't want the race to start. Weirdd... They shot the gun and BAM! We all went off like a rocket. It felt like an amazing start! I felt great and knew that I could do it and also I was up right there with Mia. Then... BAM! False start. What the? Ugh. Okay so my 2nd start was not nearly as good as my 1st. I was the sameish spot but didnt feel as great but whatever. The 1st little part all the way until the big hill I was just trying to hold onto Mia. I did not want to lose her now so I tried to stay right with her. The stretch before the big hill I felt so so good! Like amazing. I could hear I'm pretty sure each individual cheering and it felt great! I just looked up the hill at the person at the top and said that, that was where I would have to push hard. And I mean hard. I started passing people (including Mia, and I thought she was right there with me the rest of the race) and then the hill finally came and I tried my best to look at the top because looking all the way up there helped me so much! I pushed it pretty hard and tried to push it once I was at the top but I didn't push too much harder. Oh well. Around the pond was kinda hard because there was pretty much no one there cheering, like at all. But I pushed through and once I got to the other side of the course I was feeling pretty alright when I heard everyone cheering an I just thought holy cow this race is going by fast! I last little bit (probably like the last 800) I was trying to push as hard as I could but I just didn't, now I'm kicking myself cause I could have pushed harder at the end and passé the 2 girls right in front of me. Oh well. I got 1st on our team and 32nd overall. I'm pretty excited about that! I'm super excited for next year and years to come cause were gonna be a rocking team! Yay! |
