WELL...that was fun. So basically because my time trial all together sucked last week I was determinded to make this race count. I was super nervous again it only being my second race but so pumped. Taelor Bithell is letting me borrow her racing spikes for the season so today was the first time i got to use them:) It just added to my excitment :) (they are like super legit with cheetah print and stuff so obviously it makes me super speedy.)
I was doing super great and stayed super positive..up until i reached the starting line. for some odd reason that thing always starts to wack me out. So there we are about to start..bam start and boom boom boom... the gun goes off and we have to restart. i was actually happy cause my start felt rushed. so back to place.. bam...and boom boom boom. ONCE AGAIN we have to restart. But i didnt let it get me and i shook it off and when we actually got to start for real i did good :) My first lap was so SOOO SOOO good :) I ran the whole thing! (isnt that what you are supposed to do? well yes...but last time i wogged the whole race...so eat it) about then is when anna caught up with me and together we pushed each other for the remainder of the race. It helped me out a ton to say out loud nice positive thoughts and to not only think them but hear it. We did end up walking just a little bit the last lap a few times but we kept it a fast pace walk which was actually faster and less energy consuming than a wog..so it was good to help gain back that strength and power through. Hills were fun to push through and the slight inclines sucked. but overall i am very happy about my preformance. 3rd (or 4th) to last.. so place improvment and i wasn't last on the team. so im thrilled. :)
