The warm-up absolutely killed me, sweating like mad and not in the mood for a race. Once it started, my watch was on the clock instead of timer. So I gave up on trying to get my time throughout the race, because the race already started. The Varsity guys went out really fast, wasn't even going to get close to catching them. Basically, I got stuck in between the Varsity guys and JV guys, so I felt like I was running alone. This little girl ran beside me at one point during the race and was outrunning me, with bystanders cheering! So I put on a quick boost and got away from her, but it was discouraging. I could see Jace was catching up, so I tried to run faster to no avail. I was pretty close to the finish when I scraped a garbage can, and I ended up slowing down for that. I finished at a poor pace, but atleast Jace didn't get super close, and I finished in the right place, just way too far behind. It was an okay race... but didn't feel like I met Aaron's expectations. I didn't even bother even complimenting myself running pretty good, all by myself, for the entire race. I didn't even have fun, I was just pissed and complaining I felt horrible. Atleast everyone else's positive attitude cheered me up a bit and the Rocky Mtn. photo.
