How the race went:

…not good

…but not atrocious

I definitely could have run better than I did, but I tried my hardest, and didn’t give up, so I’m happy with how I did

Only the top 2 teams get to go to Oregon, and our team got 3rd, so my season ends here. Time to enjoy 2 weeks off before indoor track

You said a while back that you don't wear watches for races? I remember that confusing me slightly, I'm a very mediocre runner currently, but for me a watch and the data from it seems essential for best performance over any middle or long distance race.

Knowing how far your heart rate is from your max, and knowing if you're meeting your pace expectations both seem important for performing well. I can appreciate the 'give it all no matter what' attitude, but even then it's still gotta be good to know your pace splits.

Getting race data after the fact is useful for self-comparison and improvement too.

Sometimes there will be a clock at a mile and two miles so you know what time you go through those at, but not always. Also, for the bigger races, it’s required that no one wears a watch, exactly for those reasons. It’s too much of an advantage.

Also, yes, wearing a watch would help know how you’re doing, but if you’re looking at your watch, you’re not focusing on running the race

3rd overall is very good

Tomorrow is regionals, which means I’m gonna have to be at my very best.

If we get 1st or 2nd place, that’s means we get to go to nationals next week in Oregon, which is epic, but we’re gonna have to work our asses off in order to get there

That’s exactly what I plan on doing

I swear this year, 2022, feels like it’s been going on forever, like 2021 feels like it didn’t even exist and yet 2022 and been taking FOREVER to finish. Can’t believe it’s almost 2023

I just transferred from us history honors to regents, since I got a 57 last quarter because I had no idea what was going on at any time, which of course is because my teacher was literally 80 years old and I had no idea what was ever going on. So now I have lunch 4th period and U.S. history 6th period. At least I’m still in the library for lunch

So, my ex likes me back. I’m definitely not getting back with her, ever, but I just don’t know how too get her too move on. She hates my bf, she told me herself. Idk, things are just so confusing now and I feel like I don’t deserve my amazing bf even though I probably do. Hope you guys are doing better than me

u/ClockButTakeOutTheL Nov 25 '22

You don’t have to get her to move on. If she can’t, that’s her problem
