I was slightly nervous, as this was my first meet since freshman year, but also excited! I'd never gotten to run in this race, and it was really fun. We jumped over hay bales, ran through rivers, and sloshed through muddy terrain. It was great, even if I ended up with dirt on my legs and wet shorts after.
It just so happened that I was sick. I could have not run this meet, and given up, but I pushed through my illness and ran.
And I beat my goal of 30 minutes! I finished the race 70th out of all the juniors, with a time of 28:56. Many would not consider my time as very impressive, but to me, it was a great accomplishment. This meet was not just a meet, but a show of my perserverance in Cross Country, and that despite physical problems, I am committed to my team.
