So.... it wasn't exactly 8 minutes of hell... but it was fucking intense as all shit.
Eleanor was yelling the entire time, which is really intimidating... and made me tense. I didn't like that. It did not help me.
I pulled too hard in the beginning, which is ok (better than having too much left at the end)... but did a damn fine job of holding my split through the last 500 meters... and pulled out with a clean 1:55.5 500/M. That put me at a 7:47.9 overall... and also landed me in the top 8 scores again. I didn't even realize it (strange) but that was a goal that I'd made for myself...and I met it. I'm happy with how I did... but MAN. I was so wiped out afterwards... even moreso than a lot of XC races that I ran. I felt like I was going to pass out (not faint... just lie down and then go to sleep) No puking, but I think it would have been nice.
Now katebate is getting ornery, so I have to go shower :( No more babbling for me!!!
