wow.. i've never felt so excited for a race and still felt the same afterwards! Listening to the boys 'girls' song and sitting in the car forever was lame but other than that the trip was fun. Most everybody was honery (eh hem..) on the way up so i was happy i slept through it. We ran at the State course and I talked to some geese while the girls avoided them (cause they thought they'd be attacked whimps!) and Stoner was chasing after them. I don't know if i'm way excited for the huge hill at State.. it doesn't look so pleasing. Anywho, we ate at subway and on the way out coach and tyson made fun of me cause i didn't know how to open the door :P. I was suprised i didn't feel so nervous so i took advantage of it and ate as much as i could before the race.
AH! than it rained HARD. It was quite funny because we were listening to some kesha song on the radio and right as she sang 'make it rain' (something like that) it started to rain like crazy! Some of us (JP) were hoping that the race would be cancelled but it wasn't luckily! I finally started to get nervous when we were warming up but i felt pretty confident. The only thing i had in mind was to keep Frida in sight. The race was so muddy and its crazy that i didn't slip. There were a ton of down hills and it felt so good to run down them. There was one incline and it was the most muddy. It was hard pushing off in the mud but i got through it-ish. For a while there was a west jordan girl in front of me and i finally passed her than the desert hills girl was in front of me, Like how'd that happen? Coach yelled that if i passed the two girls than we'd win and finally i got out of thinking of running for myself and started thinking about running for the team. Good thing too. At the last prolly 200 yds, theres this huge down hill that i was afraid i was gonna trip over (i didn't) i passed DH and hoped to pass the AF girls. i got close but not close enough. Overall i'm pretty happy with the race. I felt like i had a ton of energy and i didn't feel extremely warn out until i finished. I kept thinking if i was actually giving it my all and how i don't want to finish thinking i could've ran harder. I probably could have ran a little harder to pass the AF girls but that'll just be a learning experiance this time (: I really liked the course even though it rained. I can't believe we got 1st place! Its crazy to think that we're starting to get good! |
