Turns out that my issues yesterday ended up having an impact. I still felt the allergic flare-up today and the drainage really messed with my stomach. Additionally, due to my lack of school today, I woke up way late and my breakfast ended up being two hours before my pre race lunch, which ended half an hour later than is customary. My race as a result was sloppy. My legs felt tight and weak and my stomach was an absolute mess. My effort level, however, was good and I can be happy with that. I think I made the best of my situation. The gap between me and my teammates wasn't even that much smaller than it usually is. Also, if on Tuesday I could've chosen any race out of all of my races for the rest of the season for me to lay an egg, I would've chosen this one in a heartbeat. It's not something to kick myself over and was well out of my control. All I need to do now is just prepare to blow the field apart at KingCo Championships next Saturday. Also I need to work on my kick. It doesn't matter right now, but I need one for Districts and State.
