Leaving for Clermont 2013
I was extremely nervous last Sunday at McGill University where I had to run a 3km on an inside track for the first time since high school. The goal was 10 :35 at the slowest. At the gun shot, what a start I had, because I was sitting second behind Sarah who was doing our 3 :30/km rabbit for the first kilometer. Hypnotised by following her, I did the first 1000meters in 3 :20. When I saw that time on the clock during the race, I was a bit shocked because I never thought I could run that fast while being that confortable. However, I knew I’ll have to pay for an ambitious start. It started at the 2km mark. I didn’t hit the wall, but my legs slowly faded. A few girls passed me. I was looking at the clock at every lap and calculating the time I was loosing and the chances I could still reach my goal. Finally, thanks to my excellent sprint abilities (NOT !), I ran 10 :33. What a terrible positive split ! Anyway, I quickly forgot about my performance to celebrate my friends out
