it's kind of weird starting a race knowing you're likely to lose. that's what i did this morning. i made it into march miles madness challenge's elite eight earlier this week, edging out the ninth place finisher by a single mile in the sweet sixteen distance race. having done that, i found myself preparing to run a 10K race against some of the fastest guys on the site. they started posting sub-50 minute times yesterday. my fastest ever time was wednesday's 50:32! still, if they didn't all post times, i had a chance. i woke up this morning to find that five of my competitors had posted times and the slowest of them stopped the clock at 44 minutes. discouraging? yes. but i'm not a quitter, so i gave it all i had. today, all i had was not enough. i ran a decent first 5K, but after than, it was not pretty. i slowed drastically and felt pretty awful. i did, at least, still beat the skinny kid's time. not saying much, but at least it's something. i bow out in the same round as kansas did. Karlee M. will have to carry the kansas torch alone into the women's final four. good luck, my friend! and congrats to all you fast people. next year, you'd better watch your backs! ;)
