I don't know how people do the Pinesburger challenge. I can only eat one burger. The boys tennis team does the Pinesburger challenge at their end-of-season banquet and when I was in 7th grade someone finished it in around 14 minutes. I wish I could remember who, Justin can probably tell me.
Anyway, I was being really paranoid about the time trial yesterday. I ended up not running much faster then last year but I'm fine with that. I think it actually went really well. I didn't feel the heat at all and I didn't get nauseous either. Grace and I ran right next to each other for almost the whole race. We went through the first mile at 6:46 with Zoe. Zoe started falling off our pack after we went under the bridge but I didn't know this at the time. Grace and I cruised through the second mile more easily than I expected. I kept telling myself to go faster, I'm not sure if I actually did, but it helped me not settle in or slow down. After the second mile I thought I heard someone behind me, so I looked back expecting it to be Zoe or Aidan but it was Charlotte! The three of us were together from the bathrooms to the wooden bridge. Charlotte picked it up there and I tried to hang on, but after 10 seconds I started falling behind. The finish was kinda weird for me. I felt like I had more left and could've stayed with Char but something was stopping me. I think I just wasn't used to being in that condition. Ingrid finished after Zoe and said that she felt better than last year. Nisha didn't have such a great race though. She started coughing up blood about halfway through which really scared her. Hopefully she can figure out what's wrong and have a better race at the IC time trial. I'm excited for the IC time trial; I want to run the whole thing with Grace finish closer to Charlotte.
