Amery Race
Do you like cross country and did you know that it is mostly a mental sport? Well it is. Most of it is in your head, the little voice telling you to keep going. Talking way too much talking as I get ready for the race. As the girls head towards the starting line nervousness fills me when we are doing warmups. All the girls on the cross country team get their shoe chips on. Shoe chips are little things that you put on your shoes that gives you a number so they don't have to ask your name at the finish line. Then we get positioned to start the Amery cross country race, faster people in the front slower people in the back. Suddenly, BANG, the gun goes off. The nervousness flies off me as I start to run. …show more content…
As I hit the ground I get MAD real MAD anger filled me. With other racers surging past me it was difficult to get up but as soon as I had I sprinted ahead leaving like 30 some racers in the dust. As I go past the racers, they look at like I am going WAY too fast for this part of the race. As I run the final stretch pushing my limits as far as they can go. When I come to the sprint I hear people cheering and pass 1, 2, 3, people then the finish line. I see Ari, Elie and the other people who past me in the race.
When I had taken off my shoe chips and recovered Abby told me that after I fell she had never seen me look so MAD. After the girls race was over and the boys one had started. We went to cheer them on as they finished. Only too quickly it was time to pile back on the bus to go to subway. Ari lost the money for a second so we were in the back of the line to get our food.
Finally we got our food and that veggie sub was pretty filling and delicious. Then we got on the bus once again to head home. As the results came in we had a fight over Ari’s phone and Abby’s tablet to see the results. When I found out what my time was I felt so……..I don’t know happy, excited. My time was 11:33 it was my new personal
