Notes
Um, hello, lifetime PR!?
Last night I saw a video of Trevor on facebook and I was ugly crying to Clare, and I didn;t know how I would be able to race today. I was so so so close to asking Coach if I could just sit it out because my emotions were running too high. This morning, even after the runout, my heart was just hurting. But, I knew that my girls needed me. I didn't want to leave Aubrie alone. I wanted to be strong and to race for Trev. I told myself that my grief made me invincible; and there was a little bit of anger in there, too.
Aubrie and I got out well, but I could tell Aubs was nervous. First k sitting behind Kassie and Aubs, then I pulled up even with Kassie and Aubrie was sitting behind. Just before 3k, Aubrie pulled ahead with Kassie, and I started to lose them. I saw the surge, but didn't respond. Then I could see Aubrie falling back, and I could tell that she needed my help, so I built, and caught her on Chud. I asked God to help me, and he sent Trevor to give me that little push-- I could feel him there. I tried to get Aubrie to move with me. Finished my last k in the same time as Kassie, just 100m back.
Learned a lot, Aubrie and I are ready to throw hands at Conference. I still had a lot left in the tank when I finished. Glory to God for a beautiful day and the best team to enjoy it with.
