meet today.
It was against our rival school, and we went in knowing we had no hope of winning.
Luckily for me, their course just happens to run through a Christmas tree farm. I just happen to be allergic to this type of Christmas tree. So, before the race started, I already couldn't breathe that well. The running did not help with that. The whole time, there were three girls from the other school behind me, chatting away, while I was gasping for air. In the last 800m or so, they were discussing when the should pass me. They collectively decided to wait until the end and then out sprint me (I CAN HEAR YOU DAMNIT!!). Two of them passed me in the last 200m. The last one passed me in the last meter. We were sprinting neck and neck, and I can't sprint to save my life. I breifely considered diving to try and beat her, but I decided not to and I lost by about 1/100 of a second. My final time was about 24:5x.
I was pissed. If it wasn't for those stupid Christmas trees, I would have PRd and I would have beaten those three girls.
And also we ended up losing 17-43.
