AM: Arctic Circle. Whatevs.
PM: Race! I kinda forgot about it and ate pretty much whatever I wanted (a donut, fudge, you get the idea.) and after I remembered, I remembered everything I ate and kinda made myself feel sick. But then we got out there and I felt fine. We ran a pretty good warm up.. and then the wind started to pick up. And then I found out we were supposed to pace the first mile of the race. So I was feeling good, even up to the starting line. We started out a little fast, which apparently ruined the entire race for some girls, but by the bottom of the course we were right on pace. Then we hit the mile mark and Kaylee disappeared in a cloud of dust. Just kidding.. (: I actually could see her for most of the race.. which is a big deal.. for me. (name that movie!) But for the rest of the race, we were catching up to the other girls. And I didn't actually know when the finish line was and so I didn't start my kick as early as I wanted to. So basically, to sum it all up:
Good: Our team stuck in there and showed them what we've got! Frida and Mia were right up in there and did really well. Also, it was nice and cool. And.. I admit it.. I actually love the course. It's so chill and the grass isn't that bad. Also, I figured out how to keep the shorts from rubbing (don't get me wrong, I still hate them.. but not as badly.) and my heel hurt the entire race.. but no blisters!!!
Bad: Whoever thought up the sprinkler idea needs to be kicked in the shins. I can't breathe when I run through water! Plus, Kelsey whats-her-bucket came up and gave me a hug and she was all wet and nasty from them and I almost puked on her. |
