AM- good easy 3 PM- (almost 3) It was really good to run on the state course, I felt awesome to finally, after being a bystander for a billion years watching Danny and Devin, to run it! i really like the course. We stretched like i have never stretched before! RACE- this is my favorite course of all time now! well when coach told me my name could be nicole, he wasn't kidding- my race time card says Nicole Heinrich! and it was my PR:) I was sooo scared right before the race started, i was starting to feel sick. But then the gun went off and i didn't get elbowed and it wasn't even as bad as coach had said! i really pushed it and was with Liz for a while. then i fell a little behind and aubrey caught up to me. then i stayed with her for a little bit and fell behind again. then taylor caught up to me and the cycle repeated. i wasn't really slowing down a ton though. around 700 meters left i felt really tired and wondered when in the world this was going to end! and then i got in front of some girls and then they passed me back at the finish. i almost puked. I ended up only 9 girls behind Aubrey and 11 girls behind Taylor. i feel good about that race. i pushed so hard, it was awesome to have so many other girls so you always were pushing to get in front of other people. being nicole is kinda fun:) |
