"I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY," she wrote in her lengthy post. "First of all, a lot of emotions are going through me right now. I cannot even describe what I felt after that first run. I thought ‘Why me?’, ‘Why didn’t that happen to any of the top 30 girls?, ‘Could that even happen to any of them?’, ‘Is that even fair?’."
