And just like that, the season is over. Crazy how that happens. The race today, I didn't feel like my best. At all. I got my usual warm up in and felt great and was ready to go. I started out with the front group where I needed to be. But even after the first 400 I could tell I was tired. I tried to snap out of it but couldn't. I fell off the main group and was dragging. I stuck with a SUU girl just to keep moving so I wouldn't crash. I felt like I was in slow motion and it was hard not just physically, but mentally. I had to push so hard mentally to keep myself going. At the 3 mile I was 20th. I knew I needed to pick it up but it was so hard. I heard 2 people yell "800!" and soon after someone else yelled "400!" I chose the 400 option and forced myself to focus on passing. It felt like the longest finish ever, staring at it. Luckily I passed a few girls and finally finished. I am not too thrilled with my race. I ran well but really felt like crap. I don't know what it is about this race but I hope it doesn't happen again. I felt sick after the race and still do so I am ready for my week break before figuring out what to do next. Even though my last race was frustrating, looking over my season, I am really happy. I did better than I ever imagined for my first year at college! It was a great year for experience and for our team especially. (7 of the 9 of us had never been to Conference or Regions before) and I am so grateful to be running for BYU and excited for what will happen in the years to come. |
