Embarrassment level: through the roof.
By far the worst and most embarrassing race of my life. The first mile i came in at 6:37 which is pretty solid and i was feeling okay. Something hit me at about 2 where i stopped to throw-up like i normally do, so that didn't phase me. But it took me a really long time to recover. I was just standing there for about 30 seconds before i could go again. I thought i would be fine after that but i just kept having to stop every couple hundred meters. I was sobbing the entire time it was awful. This was the first time i've seriously considered pulling out of a race- but i told myself to just deal with it and finish it. I was all the way in the back with girls who had to stop and walk part of their race and it just made me feel so crappy. every time i passed someone cheering for me that i knew, i felt like i wanted to hide my face and be invisible it was the worst feeling in the world. Regardless, i still finished at a *super speedy* time of 26 minutes give or take a few seconds. Only about 4 minutes slower than my time last week!!!!!!! (note my sarcasm). I was in hysterics after my race and but lizzy and grace managed to calm me down which i appreciated a lot. The whole team walked back to the tent together which was really nice. I'm just glad all of the other girls had such great races and i'm really proud of all of them. Although my bad race was a bummer, we still managed to get 3rd team which was great!
My mom and i were talking in the car and suggested that i look into all of the options about my throwing up issue because i declared that this was the final straw. I've already talked to a doctor about a year ago and they gave me the option of surgery (which is out of the question). I also took some medication last year which helped for a short amount of time but then didn't, so i might go back and try that again. I'm also considering seeing a mental coach to help with the mental aspect of this issue. If i can't get over the physiological part of it, then i can try and get over the mental part. We'll see... just gotta take it one day at a time
