Notes
How am I going to pull this off? Lindsay and I made a pact of "we will NOT race out of our heads." Unfortunately the gun went off and the race started. No clue what my pace was I'm running next to a teammate who is currently faster than me. I should probably slow down this soon in the race but let's see what happens. Get to 800 meters and I'm still with faster teammate and I sense her slowing down. Wait? Am I picking up the pace? Catching a few more females and decided to see where this will go. 1200 meters and thinking Ok 400 meters more, you can do this. Make it hurt, push a little more because I'm almost there. I see a pack of 4 females just ahead but think I don't have time to pass them. I quickly change my mind because maybe there's just enough time. Push just a little more because I'll be mad if I don't. I want to know what will happen. No matter what, I can always find a kick. I pass the entire female pack in the final 100 meters . I look up at the clock just before the finish and see 5:47. Is that clock kidding me? Holy shit, that was awesome! Thank you adrenaline and deciding to run out of my head. Totally worth it!
