Super nervous this morning!! after how i felt on yesterdays run i was really worried for how i would feel for the race. But good thing it was only 2 miles! I warmed up a couple miles and i felt good except for my calves felt super achy and sore. right before i went to line up for the race i took off my compression sleeves. That did the trick! Then i was able to walk over there with no tightness so apparently the sleeves were suffocating my legs and making them hurt!
i was the 5th and last leg for the relay. I had to wait a while as i cheered on liz, mia, alli, and ali who all did really good. Ali did a great hand off to me and i started out strong with desert hills rachel slade following a little bit after. The girls helped me alot with their cheering and i made sure to surge on the downhill. On the uphill, rachel slade caught up to me and i stepped up to a little bit of a quicker pace to stay with her. I think she really helped me push myself past my limits because she made me go with her at a faster pace than i wouldve been going. i stayed with her for almost a 1/2 mile i think and then she passed and i just aimed to keep her in my sight. It was alot of fun with the hay bails and especially because it was made into a relay which made me run for the team more than for myself. Very happy with how i did and my legs didnt hurt at all!!
