1.5 miles warm-up
My race went pretty well, but I really need to work on pushing during the downhills because that was where I was passed the most. It was a fairly slow course because of the "energy-sapping" sand, but it still went ok. I had a hard time during the last mile because the girl in front of me was a little too far ahead to pull me along and there was no one close enough in back of me to force me to push. I need to figure out how I can run alone better.
After the race I cheered for the boys and did a cooldown with Suzette and Abigail (1.5 miles). Then I rested a while, and then I ran around the course with Bill (1 mile). Afterward, I cooled down with Susannah and Natalie (4.5 miles). Later I cheered for the freshmen boys and girls and ran around the course with Bill for both of them- he was hard to keep up with (2 miles). The mileage is just estimated except for the race and Susannah's 4.5, but I erred on the side of fewer rather than more miles. It was fun to cheer for Sarah's race because she got an award for being in the top twenty and was continually moving up until she finished in 14th.
The day was quite tiring because we got on the bus at 3 and didn't get back until 1. |
