Okay. So today has to be another great day in my life, It's kinda hard to believe it. But I managed to overcome my disabilities in my race I ran today (West Coast Relay's). I did not beat the time I set a few weeks ago, but finished with a 10:04 3200m (2 mile) and placed 9th. But! there is something that made me happy this race, but it requires backstory.
So about my personal traits. I'm going to say on These forums that I have Motor Tics.
Motor tics is a neurological disorder in which a person can make various twitching, repeating phrases, or mental disability. For me, I have a twitching type disorder with my neck and sometimes my jaw. So, the usual outcome whenever I have motor tics during a race, makes me feel defeated and mad at myself thinking that tics made me slower. Some races, (like the one I ran my best at) I do not have motor tics and I absolutely perform incredible.
So going to today's race I had, I was very into it, I had a great first mile and going onto lap 5 I started Having neck twitches, and my jaw was very tight and I was moving all over the place. But by the last two laps, I thought to myself and I quote "BULLSHIT!" And my keyword that went through my head was "SURGE" so I pick myself up (still having bad motor tics) and sooner than later, I'm back on track
I finished the race tumbling on the track but got up soon afterwards. I didn't say a single word for 5 minutes and thought to myself. And As soon as I got back to my stuff I said out loud. "I Just Ran my race and beat out the Impossible" Sure I didn't run my fastest, but I learned today that i ran my hardest. I did everything I can to beat out those Motor tics and I will never forget how the outcome felt.
