i’m the on on the rightt, shes on the left.
It’s ranting time.
So, I had a tri-meet today and i was SO ready for it. Like, i can’t even explain it but mentally & physically i was really ready for this meet. The weather was perfect, i got enough sleep the night before, my shin splints weren’t hurting too bad and i was SO so ready to PR. the only thing worrying me was that i had never run this course before and really had no clue where i was going, but i figured i would just follow people and it would all be good. welll, that didn’t exactly work out…
So, the race starts and my first mile was a 6:40 ish and i felt so AWESOME. like, inner beast coming out awesome, and i just knew i would PR. until the first mile i had been hanging back a little & saving some energy, but once we all hit the first mile i picked it up and passed two girls on my team so that i was in 4th for my team. so i start chasing down the 3rd girl for my team, rachel, and i caught up with her and still felt really great. so anyway, we just kept running and all of a sudden we were like, an 800 from the finish. i looked at my watch and it was only at about 16:00 minutes…oops. so at this point rachel and i both realized that we had gone the wrong way and accidentally cut the course short…like, 3/4 of a mile short. but we finished anyway and she got “2nd” and i got “3rd”.
well i cant even begin to explain how pissed we both were. The course was very poorly marked and they didnt have anyone standing on the course to direct runners. we were both literally about to cry because we were both going to PR…but oh well i guess. anyway, we both got disqualified. mofos need to learn to mark a course better.
on another note, after the race one of the moms from our team brought a big pan of brownies and i was like…fuck. (Im not eating sweets for all of october) so i grabbed a handful of grapes and got the fuck away from there, hahah. only 25 more days of october-fast. (:
