RACE: I started out perfectly...around a 1:04/05...I was in about 4th place, but when it hit the 2nd lap, as people started to pass me I freaked out. I started to breath funny and my arms were num so I freaked out more. I pulled it together to hold my position on the 3rd lap, and on the 4th lap I out-kicked a couple of people on the last 200m. I really didn't run as fast as I could and I really could have easily won the heat if I hadn't freaked out...I was in the perfect position. Next time I am going to amp it up every lap and when someone tries to pass me, I am going to respond!! Region is all I have left to qualify and I intend to do so! |
