AM: Arctic Circle.. whatever.
PM: Race!! My legs were very squished up from riding the bus for a million years and my stomach hurt and my long spikes wouldn't come out so we ended up chopping them shorter with pliers and I had a pretty short warm up. So, before the race was quite hectic. Then we started and there were a kajillion people and I ended up right smack in the middle of them. So for the first lap, I was focusing on passing girls. Then as we started the 2nd lap, I heard them call out the top ten or whatever and I was in there.. and that's when I realized I was close to the front. So I tried to just stick it in there and pick them off one by one. Then as we started the 3rd lap, Coach yelled that I could take 2nd if I didn't settle. So I passed this girl.. and a few yards later, she passed me. Then as we turned off the track, I passed her again. Then she passed me a few seconds later. Then I passed her AGAIN.. and finally she stayed where she was supposed to and I didn't see her again. So I was in 3rd. Then Coach told me we needed me to pass the Lehi girl in between me and Kaylee. So I tried to pick it up, but by the time we got to the track, I was still 20 yards behind her. And I thought "Shoot. I'm not gonna get her." then I heard my dad yelling at me to go.. so I did. And I passed her! And I took 2nd! And all the people handing out water and medals were telling me how great my kick was. And I was in a great mood.. and then I took off my shoes and found out I had, in Tim's words, an "alien egg sack" on my heel. So I couldn't walk with my shoes very well. And this entry is getting super long. So I guess I'm done. |
