I was so tired during school and I just wanted seventh peroid to come already. I was so excited to race, but when i got to the locker room people were saying that the forecast said it was supposed to rain nostop until 9:00. I didnt have trash bags or very many extra layers and i was just not in the mood to get wet. We got to Vestel at like 3:25 and Lizzy and I werent supposed to warm up until 7:15, which ended up being 7:45 cause the meet was behind. We just hung around and I rolled my legs because they were tight and my left inside leg/hip was hurting a little. I actually felt really good on the progressive and i normally dont. We did drills and strides and when we checked in the official was really rude and called Lizzy and ax murder. When i did fast strides my left hip hurt a little but it doesnt seem like a big deal, ill just keep an eye on it. When we got on the line we had to wait for awhile, emily mckay was next me and she is so nice! I didnt feel as nervous once i was on the line but it was a little annoying that we had to wait so long. The race went out so fast!! All i could think was get out strong and dont get boxed in. The whole race i was dying and my arms were a mess and i could feel my knees hitting each other but i think i was still going pretty fast. When I crossed into the 6th lap i counted 20 quick steps and it def helped me stay in that lap which is the hardest for me. i was soo tired at the 6th and 7th lap but other people were slowing down so i just made myself go and i think i picked off like 5ish girls. At the end my legs felt like they were going to give out. I wish i had more of a kick at the end. i got 11:16 so a 7 sec pr and i wasnt sure i was going to. I really want to run the 3k and the 1500 again. Lizzy and i did a 20min cooldown and 4 laps of ins and outs, at that point it started pooring. All my clothes were soaked, and i was freezing, on the bus i couldnt stop shaking but fortunately i left my dry blanket there. The whole ride home i was so miserable because my back was hurting so much and i couldnt get comfortable. We didnt get back until 11:30.
