How did you feel when you qualified? What was that experience like? I honestly could not believe it when I crossed the finish line. It took a moment to set in. I have been training very hard and have had my sights set on this goal for about 15 months so it felt amazing that all the hard work has paid off. I teared up about five minutes after finishing because I was very excited I got it done, and the last three miles of the race were some of the hardest miles I have ever experienced.
What dream are you chasing at the Trials? I hope to place as high as I can. I think a good goal to shoot for is top 50 at the trials
