I prepared well in the 24hrs leading up to it but I was a basket case before then. I left less important things (Halsey) get in the way of running. I hardly slept or ate all weekend. I was pumped for region before then but Friday I crashed. I got out terribly and I was getting jostled pretty badly. I hit the bottom of the course and I knew the pace was either crazy fast or I was dying. I passed people the whole race but it hurt so much. I'm glad I'm mentally strong enough to not completely implode when the going gets rough. Oh and it was freaking hot and its been cold in cedar. Trying to get refocused for state. I'm doing the best I can.
