Oh man, it’s a real rarity for me to wear a necktie and I
can only remember wearing one two or three times but the last time I wore one
was the beginning of this year. I wore it during what had to be the first week
of school. I wore it because our cross country team was dressing up in honor of
the 41st Guilderland Invy that was taking place that Saturday. Oh man I
remember I wore a dress shirt with a tie and shorts. It was surprisingly comfy
and I really didn't mind wearing it. Then that Saturday we actually had the
invy. It was a blast up to the point where I had to race. And for those of you
who have never stepped up to a starting line with a few seconds till the
starting gun goes off, and have never experienced the terrible, terrible
feeling that you get in your stomach, consider yourself lucky. I was extremely
pumped for the race and that really ended up costing me. I had a terrible race
and I was very upset with it. I could barely breathe and I placed very poorly.
But during the season I rebounded really nicely and I ended up being one of the
top 10 runner on the team and being able to run at sectionals. I really
consider my season a success and I think I it might be able to be tracked back
to that day when I wore my tie.
