An honorable mention for Raymond, Eisen, and Joshua for getting top places in JV within BACSAC schools.
Very admirable performances!
Unfortunately, during my race, I did much, much worse than I was expecting. I got a side stitch around the second mile. Side stitches weren't a large problem this entire season, but somehow I got one for the most important race at the end?? I'm not sure what I did wrong. I made sure to breathe deeply, I stretched more than usual, I drank sufficient but not too much water, I ate hours beforehand. Yet, I had to slow down so much that I ended up getting a worse time than last year's race. I was really hoping to finish the race at 22 minutes. But I ended up getting 24' 59", just shy of 25 minutes. After checking the results, I ended up at the same place I was last year, 25th/41 runners. I'm genuinely really pissed at this result. The question comes to mind if I deserved this varsity spot.
Now, I have to run at the CIF Oakland Section Championships, which are on November 23rd this year, at Chabot College, which directly coincides with Mechanical M-Ayhem for robotics! Not only this, but two rookies that really need to attend Mechanical M-Ayhem will have to run as well.
