The Cougar Prowl

October 18th, 2006 by c4d1ll4c

Running in the Cougar Prowl this year was a great experience, at some points during the race you fell so confident that you can gallop your way through the trails like a horse while other times you feel so tired that you need to stop and breath through your exhausted lungs. To tell you the truth, I was not expecting to get third place, at times I felt I would just stop and walk the rest of the way, but something was pushing me, as if I would be ashamed of myself if I didn’t finish the race, my legs were numb and the sweat running down my neck was dripping on to the ground, a puddle of exhaustion. Then I saw something, the people in front me were sprinting, that told me that the race was almost over, I looked back to gain some more confidence and ruthlessly used the remains of my energy to finish the race, “long strides” a friend said, and then I finished, now I truly knew that it was worth going on when I was about to give up. I felt good about myself but I knew not to get too cocky and brag my head off. I thought to myself it was a race not easily finished and I had done it, I hope that in the future I continue to strive for my goals. That day I truly learned, hard work always pays off.
