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.

I know the feeling and the frustration and can deeply empathize. You are better than what your body is letting you do right now. I know it, the team knows it, Kassie Rosenbum knows it, but most importantly you know it. And as long as you keep knowing it, you’ll be back better than ever.

Thanks, Sam, you're kind of the nicest person ever.

You have so many people supporting you and although it was a frustrating national's experience, we all believe in you to figure out what is wrong, correct it, and get back to it like shit ain't even happen. You're a beast, Carina. For real.
