This race was super duper stressful for me. I don't think I've been so nervous for a race in my entire life. I kept thinking to myself before the race that yeah, it is just running, but I REALLY didn't want to let the team or my coaches down. So that's what made me so nervous.
I think I ran pretty good. The first mile was pretty good except the mile markers were WAY off so that was really confusing me! The first mile I was pretty much just telling myself to calm down. There were so many girls that it was really crowded and dusty for a long time. But I remember feeling really nervous still on the first mile. I eventually relaxed a little.
The second mile I was feeling better about it. There was a group of girls in front of me that I passed and I continued to pass people this mile. It was awesome! ...OH YEAH! I forgot about the hill! Well it definitely was cake compared to last week! hahaha. I loved going down the hill! I felt like I was flying because I lengthened my stride a ton and just let myself go. It was the most amazing feeling! If only I was that fast on flat ground!
The third mile I was really disappointed in myself because I was about to pass this one girl coming through the finish line but as she realized that I was about to catch her she sped up and then I didnt. I'm still really disappointed about that.
Well the varsity girls did really amazing because they got third! I don't think I deserve the medal because I can't keep up with them but I have one anyways. But you guys did so good and I'm so proud of you all!
All in all this was a great race! It was fun and I felt very relieved after it was over:)
HAHAHA. Funny story: Rachael and I got the exact same time and we were running two different races! This is when I realized that we REALLY ARE running partners! hahaha:)
(Sorry this is so long) but I just want to give major props to Rusty and Brice for running in the college race!! You guys did sooo amazing!! Me and Sarah were like "Those are our coaches!!!" Except not very loud so you guys didn't get in trouble:) But we were very very proud! Thanks for an amazing race everyone! You all did absolutely amazing and represented Meridian exceptionally well! :) See you Monday!
