Good session of weights to start of the day, although I failed to get my thrusts in. Coach decided to have me race this afternoon in Bloomington Hills.
Going into the race, I was unnecessarily nervous; I felt like throwing up. I raced anyway. I don't know what it is, but racing ain't what it used to be for me. None of my races have felt very good at all since the time trial. I'm really really trying to tell myself that I'm putting in the time and work for it to pay off on the course, but it just hasn't yet. It's really frustrating, but perhaps this is just one of those trials for me that I need to endure and trust in God's timing. Coach Robs said something to me after the race that helped quite a bit. He told me to stop focusing on what I need to be for the team, and remember the things that I already bring to the team that makes us better. I'll give that a try for the next little bit. Congrats to Scottie for another killer race! He is the gutsiest guy I know and we all need to learn from him. Keep working hard, Scott!
I think I'm gonna go into Murray a little pissed off instead of nervous. That'll help me go for every moment that there's a chance for doubt.
