i was so prepared for the track meet . i spent the previous 4 years getting ready for it . wow that is a long time ! how did you do ? i ended up coming in 5th overall , but only the top 3 were able to represent our country . but its ok , i knew i had come into the meet in the best shape i could have . exactly ! that is a great outlook to have . you did your best and as long as you are happy personally all the rest does not matter
Rigorous preparation and training instilled a sense of confidence.
