Comments:
I have no idea why this race went wrong. Chris and I were sitting top 10 after the mile mark and into the woods. I think I was around 5th or 6th when Chris took the lead 2 miles in and I thought we were going to tear it up and something special was going to happen. False; the back loop happened and I curled up and gave in. I couldn't catch back up to Chris when I knew we needed each other to push up to top 14 and 2nd team All-UAA. I couldn't stay strong on the uphills where I'm usually stronger on uphills than runners of similar ability to me. I couldn't fly on the downhills. I even was outkicked by two runners when I feel I have way better sprinting power than most distance guys. This race was just a shit show mentally after 2 miles. It didn't even feel like a long race in that the 3 and 4 mile marks flew by, and then I couldn't do anything about running out of time and race distance as we neared the finish. I'm sick of failing and I refuse to piss away this season after sacrificing too much this semester for running.
