After playing Basketball this morning, Marissa had to get to her track meet. First thing in the morning, Marissa was excited to run - this would be her first time running competitively since cross country season - unfortunately, she hurt her foot this morning. UGH!!! Just what she didn't need. Since she was hurt I stopped at the house on the way home to grab her foot brace. I thought it would give her more stability if/when she runs. We continued to ice her ankle (on and off) the whole trip down.
We stopped at Subway to get her the traditional pizza sub and water before continuing onto Lexington.
We arrived at the Nutter Field House at 1:20 (she didn't need to be there until 2:00). Her race was at 4:30. She was in a great position at the start of the race 4 or 5 back from the lead but then with each lap she fell further behind. You could tell something wasn't right. I was worried it was her ankle. Today she ran a 12:57. She was very unhappy with her results.
After she ran, she said she couldn't breath in there. I remember he saying the same thing last year. She ran a 6:07 mile last year and the very next race she ran a 5:47. BIG Difference. She couldn't breath, her ankle hurt and she had cramps. UGH! Not a good race.
Well, the good news is that there is always one bad race each season - this got it out of the way up front. Nothing to do but get better. She will want to take a minute off her time to get back to her PR, and then more time off to take the school record.
All in all she still did very well. She finished 20th out of a huge group (2 heats).
