Well our bus got there late, so absolutely no warmup for the girls. They gave us T-shirts to wear because their coach got cancer. I actually like them. Bill just said go fast enough to win to Abigail, and my job was just to keep up, and so was everyone else's I think. First mile sucked. It seemed way fast, but I figured that was only because of no warmup. It was a 6:05ish. Then the 2nd mile I wasn't doing as bad as I have in the past, and I kept pushing. They didn't say times this time. The 3rd I started to crash and I wanted to slow down or walk so bad, but I forced myself not to. I think that finish could've been a lot better. I got so annoyed in the middle of the race though because there were so many bugs and I kept getting them in my eyes or mouth or whatever. It was disgusting!!! The finish sucked too because I thought I was done but it kept going and going and going! And then we turn and there is no one to direct us where to go, and I'm all alone, so I start going the wrong way, so confused where to go when they finally wave me down and I go over there. I almost got out-kicked, but I made sure I didn't. I wasn't in the greatest mood when I finished, and then Bill yelled at Emmaline and I to go with Abigail for a cool down and I hadn't recovered yet. That seemed really fast for backing off. The cool down wasn't so bad, but I didn't like starting so soon. We played on the playground after and it was great :) Then I found out that I'm not racing the rest of the season and that made me sad. But I know it's for my own good so I won't complain too much about it. :( |
