This race was a bit of a disappointment- like my freshman year. Overall, I had a good race. I was a smart racer and ran well. I got in good position at the start, right on the rail the entire time (which is a new skill) and was able to close gaps and move with the group when they surged. It was just disappointing that I was unable to run any faster. I cried after and felt deeping discouraged and disappointed. I can't figure what is going wrong- I know how to race but my fitness is still sucky. And coach agreed. I had a 5 mile cool down and it was still a fun trip with my parent and husband but I feel so discouraged.
