For once I can actually mean it when I say that I had a really good race. I was really nervous while all morning and while I was warming up for the race, but before we stepped onto the line, I calmed down and focused on trying to run a good race. When the gun went off, all I cared about was getting out of that gate without having to slow down. The whole first mile went by really fast. I passed a lot of people on that first mile who were going too slow for my liking. Then, before I hit the pavement, Rusty told me that I had to catch the girl in yellow. The strip of pavement is where I always pass a ton of people, so I focused on reeling in girl after girl to get to the girl in yellow. I caught up to the girl in yellow really quickly, and continued to pass more people. On the third mile, I passed this tiger girl, but she out-kicked me at the end. When I found out that I finished in 14th place, I was really excited because this was my first real varsity race award!

Hanging out with the team after the race was awesome! I had a lot of fun with everyone, and it was really funny that the boys were able to black out 7 screens on Tremors. Overall, it was a very great trip!
