Comments:
my day started at 6am, getting on the bus at 7am!
was pretty jittery when i got there. and nervous - but excited nervous. had the whole morning to sleep and day-dream and sleep and eat when i got there since i had no morning events. during my first nap, i'm pretty sure i had this dream about the 800 and me running the last leg and eventho the piton was given to me in a bad position and i was way behind everyone i managed to win the race with this amazing finish. oh yeah, and i had the excitement as the piton was about to be given to me and i got out really fast. ... WEIRDEST DREAM!

meet was over before i got to do the 4x4, steeple chase, and open 400. i was really looking forward to the steeple! and even tho this was a ton to run, i actually thought i could do it, and was excited.
:(
and yes, i mean hail, huge hail stones
at least i got to run a good 800 in the 4x8
considering the fact that it hailed rt before it was gunna start so we had to go inside and everything till they finally started the meet again
interesting day...

The 800 was very strong. had the endurance i didn't have before spring break. got out fast (not as fast as i would've liked tho) and had a very strong finish. payed attention to my gears. lifted my knees. used my arms. i was the last leg and by that point the other teams were nearly done ... wish there'd been some one to run with - for many reasons, including getting my adrenaline going. anthony said i ran it in 2:53 (whatever that means - don't have the best sense of times) but possibly would've been faster if i hadn't fumbled with the piton and nearly dropped it. anyway, my conclusion is that it was a strong race, i'm proud of it, and i'll continue to improve through-out the season.
i'm excited! !!! i dunno why but i just am!
