Comments:
I was really tired this morning because I kept waking up during the night but I still felt a lot better than yesterday. The drive was short and as soon as I saw the course I knew I was going to have a good race. We ran the course and I really liked it because it reminded me of cass park. Our race was first and that was nice because we usually have to sit around for hours before warming up. My stride felt different when we were doing strides, but I liked it, and I wanted to run like that during the race. I knew I wouldn't though cause I've never run that way before. When the race started I forgot about the puddles near the 200 meter sign, and I was on track to run straight through them but somehow I found room to swerve around the deepest part. When the race started spreading out I moved up to about 5 meters behind Grace. I was there for a long time which was really cool because Zoe and Charlotte were right in front of us too. Seeing all of them so close really encouraged me, I felt like I had a purpose and we had a chance to beat Elmira. I only regret the last 400 meters of the race because I wasn't putting in my full effort, and I knew it, and 2 Elmira girls passed me. Other than that I think I ran well and finally had a good race. I also broke my pr by about 45 seconds (not including the time trials) so that's cool, but not unexpected. After the race I had a lot of fun taking pictures and cheering. There was this really weird set-up in the woods that looked like a dump at first, but then we explored a bit and realized everything was put there on purpose. There was a dilapidated playground, shack, school bus, and a bunch of other things. I thought that it would look creepy at night.
