well let's just say I'm very very unhappy with this race. It was sad and pathetic and I don't even think it deserves to be called a race. I've been/ still am sick, so that hasn't helped me prepare or preform. It was the first race I ever really seriously considered quitting. It would have just been so much less humiliating, difficult, and exhausting if I had just snuck off the course. But I know I loose respect for quitters, and I wasn't about to stoop as low. It was much less humiliating to finish last than it would have been to quit. |
