It was cold and windy today. We warmed up by jogging part of the course. It was about a mile. Then we got back and found out our race started a half hour later than we thought, so we put our sweats back on and ran to the school to stay warm and use the restroom and get a drink. Then it was time to head to the start line. We got to the start line and did some strides. Took off our sweats and the race started. My legs were tired right away. I didn't feel very good, but I wanted to place well. I started slow, and it took me a while to work up through the group. In the first lap I got a pretty bad sideache, but I just kept pushing and it went away or I just didn't notice it anymore. In the second lap my dad told me with about a 1200 to go that I was 4th from 4a and the girl 4 people ahead was 3rd. I focused on working my way up to her and I passed her with about a 400 to go. My final time was 19:54. My time wasn't that great, but I was happy with my place. Our team was second to Orem. After the race I cooled down a little bit watching the guys race,and then with them after their race. They ended up being 3rd with Orem and Provo ahead.
Went for a short jog. Probably more of a waste of time than anything. I had too many runs this week that weren't quality. I really need to focus this next week so I will be ready for state. |
