Notes
Holy shit that sucked. Went out in 4:41 and then proceeded to just die. I don't know why, but with about 6 laps to go I started feeling miserable to the point where I could not see myself finishing the race. Breathing was hard, my body felt like it was on fire, and my form went to shit. It took every once of strength to force myself to finish. Looks like I just ran out of glue too early this year. Sad I didn't run in the 14:20's-14:30's like I know I can but I made some big steps forward with becoming the runner I want to be. My only regret is that I have to cheer from the sidelines next weekend instead of being able to help out. I know the time doesn't show it, but I gave 110% percent today. This is the first race I have ever puked after since a Tuesday meet for Junior year of high school. Going to enjoy tomorrow and then take a few days to let my groin/ab recover along with giving my mind a mental break. When I come back, I'm attacking this summer training like crazy!
Goals:
-Top 3 for the team
-All-American
-Sub 24:30 for 8K
On a side note, when I went to class today before the race somebody left a note on my desk. Funny how things work out, I have no idea who this person is but it felt like the note was somehow meant for me. It read:
"Transition is not about becoming someone better, but about finally allowing yourself to become someone you've always wanted to be."
