This morning I was racing over at Wheeler Farm. When I got there I met up with Tim and we did a mile warm up. Then we stretched and did strides. They called the 5K runners over to the starting line. Tim and I didn't know where the starting line was but when we found it we got on the line at the front and lined up. They shot the gun and we are off. Tim, me and some other kid got out way fast and took the lead immediately. Tim was breaking away and same with the kid in second place. When we were going around the turn we didn't know where to go so we stopped and waited for the officials to tell us where to go so the fourth place person caught up to us. We were running as a group of three for pretty much the rest of the race.  We went through the big river at Wheeler Farm twice during the race but I went through it three times because we got way lost. Then I caught the third place person and I was running in third for a while. Then when I had about a mile to go I started to feel the orange juice coming up so I slowed the pace to try to keep it down and I did until about the last 200 meters where I had to stop and puke and when I did, I got passed and ended up fourth overall. I would have broken 19 minutes if I didn't have to stop and if I didn't get lost and ran an extra .1 of a mile. It sucks because the top 3 overall got kindles for awards and I didn't get one because I puked:( when I changed my shirt, Tim and I went out and did a two mile cooldown, we would have gone three but they were doing awards and the prize drawings.
