October 10, 2009 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: COLD

Comments:
Haha so usually the races are too hot for me, but this one was SO cold. I think that's one of the reasons I felt kind of bad was because my muscles didn't really work. I felt really kinda sluggish in the end. How come the weather is never perfect hahah

Congrats to SORA! Wow, I know I could have probably at least stayed with her a little longer, but I gave up too easily. Oh well, she deserved to win that race :) Haha, but there's still three more races I can beat her at!! :)

My race:
Not my BEST, but I think it was okay.
Time wise, yeah it was good, but it didn't feel good enough.
Throughout the week I felt really sluggish, so maybe that has something to do with it.

The first mile, I got out pretty quick, not gonna lie. I was attacking within the first 800 meters, and usually try not to "attack" until the end of the first mile or so. It was pretty good, but I knew I was pushing pretty hard.

The second mile was alright. It wasn't as flat as I thought it would be, running sideways on that hill and all, but I felt alright. A little sluggish and fatigued, but nothing I'd never felt before. I remember the downhill parts though and that was my FAVORITE because when Sora kind of got ahead of me, I used the downhill to catch up to her. Overall, and alright mile. I didn't move up much. I think I was in like 5th place or something.

Third mile was probably not the funnest. It just didn't feel right for some reason. I didn't feel focused at all. On the part where Taylor was standing he was like "keep your head up" and I really wanted to punch him in the face hahah. I was like "ugh, shut up!" in my mind, but once I ran past him I did what he told me and finihsed alright. I got passed on that stupid hill, AH, how could I have slowed down on that thing? I ran Warrior Mountain! It wasn't the best finish either. Oh well, hopefully this is just a slump I can recover from or something.

Overall, eh.
I was pumped about all of the incredible performances and everything, I felt so weird though. I donno what it was.

AHAHAHHAHA oh my gosh, me and Chelsie have some hilarious stories we came back home with though! Including that guy with the fro hahahahhaha we couldn't understand him! And me and Chelsie chasing down the guy in the gorilla suit...good times....

wow, okay it was a really great trip though.
Bend is an awesome place :)

Thanks coaches for not giving up on the trip!
