Well today was race day i was excited to race today. Went for a warm up and felt good, but then we had to wait forever to start so i tightened up alot. My goal going into the race was top 10 i knew i could do it. The race started and i was near the front i may have started of to quick but i was just trying to stay up near the leaders. After the start we got into a more normal place i was in about 8th and stayed that way for about the first mile. That first mile was good for me because in races i usually cant keep my position well. Krenshaw and Dave caught me on the gravel section and i was right behind them after that. Coming out of the dirt road byron told me i was in the top 10 so i was smiling and trying to keep my postion. At the turnaround i could see a d hills kid behind me so i tried to push up the pace but my legs were dead because they were already tight before the race started. The d hills kid started going into like his finish pace but we still had about 3/4 of a mile i thought he would die off but he didnt. With about a quarter mile left coach told me to try to catch dave and krenshaw i started to sprint towards them but nothing was left so i couldnt. I finished somewhat strong, not my best time but just as good as a pr last year which is good. So close to my goal it was kinda sad but at least i was close! |
