Race was crushing, first fall in a track race. “The Fall” was a blur and likely was caused by a lack of space and getting completely compressed in between too many people. Panicking and overthinking the pain in my side was my downfall. I’m glad to have been a part of Devin’s last race, even if it didn’t end the way we wanted it to. I am not happy with my race, but there’s nothing I can do to change it now and the longer I spend feeling sorry for myself and complaining the less I’ll be able to move and and grow from today. It is what it is. We move on. It’s going to be a motivator for the future and I’ve been fortunate enough to have a great season leading up to tonight. Homewood flossmoor was a great start for invitational meets, Mcarthy was and still is my favorite race of all time, and tonight happened. I have one more year to drop times even further. Going to fight for a good cross country season, haven’t had nearly as good of a season in cross country as I have track and I only have one season left to make things happen. The good thing about ending a season with a fall is that there’s only one way left to go. Going to take the next ten days to recover and reflect then head back up for summer training.
