Notes

A tough day out on the course for me. This was the last Cross Country race of my high school career, and I was hoping to be able to put forth a decent effort. That didn't really happen.

We left the school at about 9:30, and got there about 10:40. The Girls Race went off at 11:30 (We got second!) and the boys race started at 12:15. At the start of the girls race me and the rest of the team went off for a warm up of about 1 mile before stretching. Once the race started I pretty much settled into the 70s and couldn't move myself up. The whole team was feeling pretty sluggish.

I believe the root of the issue is just that I'm mentally drained from the long season. I wish I could have done better, but I just didn't have it in me to go that hard. The past two weeks have been abysmal training, and I just wasn't confident in my ability going in. I missed my Wickham PR by almost half a minute, and I'm just going to have to start training for outdoor.
