am- nice easy stuff. Im ready for today's race! super pumped.
pm- YES!!!! I am sooo happy right now. So the meet got delayed cause of lightning and i started thinking wow this is gonna be a long day. But then 20 minutes later we were out and warming up to race. I ate a sandwich during the wait which will be back later in this entry. So we get out there and I am now pumped again to race. Bang! and we were off. I made sure that I would not go out crazy cause I would fall off. Instead I stayed right behind Eric, Josh, Spencer and Preston. So the first mile went by and we were at 4:53! Oh yeah I was feeling it and I knew it. So at this point I was thinking I would just qualify by time not place, and so I really was pushing hard to be on pace. I made sure that I wouldn't fall off hardcore like I have always. But then I started hurting bad on the 7th and my sandwich was wanting to come back up for some fresh air so somethin?! haha that's when Mckaid form CV passed me fast. But I went after him and thats when I realized that I was gonna have to qualify by place cause my 7th lap was soo slow. And then God gave me a pretty great gift: Eric was falling off hard core! I passed him and then Coach was like "you cant let him beat you!" and I went nuts. I was gone like a mad man and finished 4th. Last spot for state. Wow I was just so overwhelmed with happiness and relief, it was like a words can't explain moment. So now it is all in for state. I am glad I have this opportunity to race so I gotta give it all.
