Comments:
I had probably the worst starts in a race ever. I was dead last off the line for my team and I was quickly jostled toward the back of the pack. To make matters worse I slipped at the quarter mile mark and after quickly getting back up I looked around and noticed that I was in dead last. I was pissed not to mention scared shitless. The race had gone out like a hurricane and I was confused and terrified with the flurry of mud, water, and freezing cold that surrounded me. I was panicing quite a bit in the first mile. I didn't control my breathing and get into a pace until after the first major hill. I tried to make a come back but my pathetic start kept me from being anything close to a contender. I'm going to try to forget about this race and just be more aggressive in staying with my team in the next race.
