I felt pretty good about my race! I got a lengthy warm up with Natalie and Abigail, and then we did some strides. I fell down when the race started, but they shot the gun. However, after that, I fell down again, but I got up and kept running, luckily, because they didn't shoot the gun again. Luckily I wasn't the first to fall down either time- I fell on top of other girls. It meant that I was passing throughout the race, but that was nice for keeping me mentally tough. I finished about 10 seconds behind Josephine, which I felt was quite an accomplishment. That is definitely a PR for the course and, I think, for an xc race for me :) It went so well because I brought it to the field for BIOTECH.
We also ran the torch. I only got a little burned. |
