Notes
So... I'm really frustrated. I am in way better shape than this. I am a better racer than this. Something is wrong physically, because this was not a bad mental race. I have never had to be so mentally tough in a race before, because with 6 laps to go, my body was screaming at me to stop. BUT I WAS GOING TO FINISH NO MATTER HOW SLOW IT WAS. And it was very slow. Horribly, excruciatingly slow. I felt like I was running through mud. My legs wouldn't respond, they felt tired. I couldn't breathe, was wheezing. Dizzy. My calves turned into rocks after I collapsed at the line. I just don't know what is going on, but Coach and I think it has to be cellular. I'm thinking possibly low B-12, Coach thinks Iron or thyroid. I don't care what it is, just so long as I can get it fixed.
A very disappointing nationals experience. I know that I am a better runner than this.
