Training Log Archive: Tyrannosaurus

Warm up with the girls, very focused and quiet.

State race! I'm happy with how it went. I went out fast, but not too fast, and although I slowed down, I was passing people throughout. For a while I was running with Sophia Lindstrom, a sophomore on our team, which really helped me to push myselft. We caught up to Carlyn at about mile 1 and stayed with her for a little bit but Sophia and I pulled ahead slowly. Sophia gradually pulled away from me too, at about mile 2. In the last half mile or so I passed 3 girls, moving up from 20th to 17th, and I tried to catch another girl in the last 100m or so, but as soon as she realized I was there she was having none of it and stayed ahead of me. I kept pushing myself the whole time during the race, and I'm really pleased with it because of that.

As a team, we won!!! It was a very exciting day for us, and the boys placed 2nd! We also made friends with the Selah girls' team. :)

State course preview and two buildups at the end.

Reverse DQ, with pinecone park on our way back. It took about 10000000 tries but I threw 1 pinecone through the dinosaur flag!

We leave for State tomorrow morning, run a course preview tomorrow afternoon, and race on Saturday.
