So, today we did a home meet. I was pretty nervous because I didn't highdrate as much as I should have. I put on my racing flats a little too early, also, which wasn't very smart because I warmed up a lot in them. One of the schools was running a little late, so I warmed up twice.
When we started out I was feeling really good and I really liked how it was't as stressful as the Highland Meet last week. After going around the track once, I was in third with a Boneville girl and Riley in front of me. I thought I was going too fast, but I felt good so I kept that pace. I really wanted to catch up to Riley, but I never did until the las 300 meters. A little before the first mile I noticed my shoe was untied, but I just kept running hoping it wouldn't come off. When I got to mile 2 I was still feeling really good, even though it was super hot. I actually kind of liked the heat, because when I first started running I always ran in the heat and it brought back memories or something like that which made me happy and feeling good. I actually dry heaved a little, but just kept going. When I did get to the last 300, I caught up to Riley and attempted to pass her, but I couldn't which is something I regret. I got passed by a Boneville girl that had been in back of me for quite some time. I attempted to sprint which didn't do anything because I was going the same speed. I felt really good about my race because my goal was to just get a course record which I did. I'm actually unsure about my time, but my watch was 21:02 and I probably started it late.
