Varsity girls/guys missed school on friday to go to herriman. About 2ish we ran the state course which was alot better than last time we ran it! I felt okay... I fell a little behind but not too bad.
Race: we ended up missing our race :/ bummer. So we ran the JV race! warmed up about a mile and then went up the the start. First half mile was awful. I wish i had started out faster! I got boxed in and couldnt get up where i wanted till we were in almost a mile. My pace was really off there. But finally i got into 3rd place and made a gap on everyone else behind me. I focused on catching up to mia and the girl behind her. Never happened. First mile was just under 8 minutes. The second had more downhill and i got just under 15 minutes. Right after the 2nd mile was the mutha cussa. I was able to get up it fine, but the second i reached the top my legs were dead. The last mile dragged on and my legs felt really heavy. But luckily no one passed me. The last 1/2 mile i really tried to make myself push harder to possibly get 2nd behind mia but i couldnt make myself go any faster. Finished third with 24:50- which surprised me, but it was super muddy and hilly so i guess it makes sense. But overalll it was sooo fun! I love trail runs and so that help me be positive and to have fun and not worry which helped alot. The mud made it fun too:) and my shins didnt hurt AT ALL and my breathing was good. After the races we had awards, i got a cool bag, I wish every race was like this one.
