Apr 02, 2008 22:55

So today was the first track meet. we took two buses, one for girls and one for boys because there were so many of us. i helped out ms groat. we all passed out the cards, and i edited them and made some more for people that want more events. we had to make some changes cuz alanna wasnt here and what not. soo eventually we get there and we look pretty intimidating showing up with two buses full of people. it was sick. so we warmed up and stretched... but it was cold, no fun. the girls bathroom was locked. so apparently the briarcliff coach decided that the boys bathroom wuld be unisex for teh day.... ewwwww. i made dakota stand guard outside and i locked the door wen i went in so no one else wuld come in. soo gross. i did long jump, triple jump, and the 4x 400m relay. they only have one pit, so all four events were there. and there were a bajillion westlake girls doing long jump and none of them culd get their steps right or pay attention, so i was getting annoyed. and the pit is shallow and slippery, so it hurt to land and i messed up a bit, but o well. i got 3rd with 12' 6 1/2". which is about average for me. i was to be getting 13s this season tho. o i met amandas bf, mike, for the first time since i was 7 or so. i approve. i like him more than anthony tho. he seems more right for amanda. and not so dependent and desperate like anthony. so i did triple jump later. it hurt. one of my jumps, my left heel hit the wooden board during my jump and it hurt so much. and then the shallow pit. it beat me up. i got 2nd with 27' 6 1/2" or somethign. not so great, but it was colder by then. so i had the 4x4 left. and dakota had just finished running the 3000 so i switched places with her. she was 4th leg and i was 1st. i did pretty good. i heard amanda cheering for me the entire time, shes so loud. but i liked it. i paced myself with the briarcliff girl and then crazily sprinted ahead wen i hit the last straightaway. so i passed off the baton in first place. we ended up getting 2nd place. we put 6 min on the card, but we ran it in 5.14. which is rly good compared to what we thought. soo apparently a lot of people rly want me to do the 400 events now, that i was beast or something. so thats awesome. jello held my clothes for me while i ran, and helped me get my pants on, cuz i culdnt breath and was freezing. sooooo we won the meet with 80 pts, to briarcliff's 64 and idk wat pv had. briarcliff has some really good running girls, but we owned with field events. so im rly happy now, cuz we won and i did pretty good. not as good as i wuld have liked. but its the first meet. and im going to get better with each day. so im psyched.
