In less than 24 hours I will have stood on the starting line of my first college cross country meet. I will have taken out too fast with the pack. I will have died in the middle of the race. I will have crossed the finish line with my stomach inching up my throat. Last but not least, I will have realized that it's just another race and my nerves will be gone.
Until that moment, I will continue to feel a queasy swirl in my stomach. I have reason to believe that butterflies have gone on a spawning frenzie and found shelter in my tum. My weekend doesn't start until the race is over tomorrow morning. Even with classes out of the way, no homework, and a three day weekend, the race is the lingering obstacle in front of a few days of freedom.
I'm not just nervous about my debut as a college runner. I am excited as well. There are no expectiations of the first meet, especially as a freshman. The team should do well, and I know we will have fun with the meet.

Thanks for the incites to your collegiate cross country debut. How'd the race go for you?
I was not entirely satisfied with my performance on Saturday, but it was our first meet and we have been running a lot of miles. It was expected to be so-so. Friday should be much better.
