The Wall

Todays meet went...better than planned I guess. I'm still not satisfied. At all. I feel like crap actually. I put everything into that race, although I could have done more in the last mile, and my body aches all over to prove it. But for what? I got a 21:24. Grrr.... That makes me 9th on the team behind Bryant, Dan, Keith, Andy, Hayden, Bani, Parker, and Kyle. I guess the fact that it was 95 degrees out didn't really help. I ran a 6:02 first mile, and my second was something along the lines of that, but my third must have been really slow. I still managed to place 16th out of the "developmental" race. What the hell is developmental? That sounds like an insult more than anything. When I finished, it was so hot it felt like the oxygen was like...evaporating out of my lungs, and I couldn't get enough air, and my head started hurting really bad. For a second I couldn't see, and then I fell into some shade, and the effects diminished....somewhat. Anyway, it sucked. The girls team did really good, with two of their freshmen coming in like...top 25. Maria -my forensics parter- got something like 18. In the varsity race. Jesus.
