AM- easy before state

PM- state. wow. We started and warned up and got to the starting line. I got out good and pushed good. Around the pond Caroline passed me and had I stuck with her, it would've made all the difference. It was an okay race for how my seasons been going. I had a good kick. When we finished my card (I was our 7th runner) said we got 1st and it said we got first on runnercard. We were crying and hugging and were so happy. Even writing this it makes me want to cry thinking how happy we were. After they awarded the top 10 medals they didn't award team trophies and we found out (3 hours later) that they had disqualified a stansbury girl for running outside the course but then they decided to requalify her, putting us in 2nd. Then we found out they disqualified a park city girl (making us and stansbury tied but our 6th girl was faster so we would have won). after 3 hours they finally decided to award the team awards and tbey gave stansbury the 1st place and us 2nd. It was heartbreaking. I cried for at least an hour. We know that none of us had our best races, but we still thought we had it. This was the hardest thing I've faced. I cried every time I thought about them taking home that trophy and them cheering when they announced their names and then being able to think about theirs races and not having to pick apart everything they could've done better. I'm past the crying part now, I'm just mad about everything. One of the worst parts is that our school was actually paying attention to XC for the first time ever and they were totally hyped for us. I stayed up for 2 hours that night and as of right now, I think I can speak for my whole team when saying this, we are going to work our butts off. I can assure you that I am going to prove that I want it more than anyone else, and that I'm willing to go through any amount of pain to get it. I'm hungry for NXR and I know my team is as well. I only have 1&1/2 years of high school running left and I'm going to enjoy every step. We will win state next year. And we will do extremely well at NXR. We're gonna go show everyone what we're made of and how incredibly amazing we are. I refuse to go through this kind of thing again. I'm forever going to be upset by the outcome of things, that's just the way it is, but I'm going to use that anger to push me and my team to new heights. After Nike, there will be no doubt in anyone's mind that pine view deserved that state title. So there's that, no one read this monster of a blog post but I needed to get my goals out there and to make sure I know and remember them always. Here's to a great month of training and a phenomenal race at NXR.

I read it and I hear ya... Unbelievably, the pain will subside, but what you must carry with you is the goals and the drive. Someday you won't want to get up for morning practice or maybe that final repeat will be tough or maybe it'll be easy to slack on that achilles or it'll be easy to pack in a tired race. But then, then is when it will matter most what you learned here today.

You are great, thanks for all you have and will keep doing for the team.

You killed it Alli, and no technicalities are going to change that, so you're right, get freaking ready for nxr.
