Today was the Park City race. I warned up about 1.5.
I didn't really get out well. I got trapped behind girls going way slower than I wanted. When I got to the first hill I passed a lot, which was nice :) then we went along the loop and I wasn't expecting the rolly hills. The uphills in that second mile felt hard for some reason. Then I used the downhill and was able to power up the last few hills, I tried to pick it up again on the last mile. I used the last downhill the best I could but found myself struggling, when I tried to get myself to kick I couldn't, Bill yelled 300 left and I just could not pick it up. Maybe it had to do with the cold (there was snow on the ground, which makes me sad, I love summer) :( I got passed in the last 10 meters by two girls. And to make matters worse, my time was slower than Wednesday. Granted there were hills and it was cold, but I'm tired of excuses, I just want faster times.
Did a 2 mile cool down reflecting on my race, I felt like I could've worked harder the second mile but I didn't want to go too hard and have the last mile be slow. But now I know for region. Region is on Friday and I'm freaking out... I don't feel ready. After my sad cool down I strangely was in a better mood, I was really upset after my race. Then we went to dinner, and five years later am typing this. School felt like 3 days ago, but it was 9 hours ago.
