Hawaii: Day One

WARNING: SO MANY PICTURES!!!!!!

Yesterday was my first day in Hawaii for the band trip. Well it wasn't much of a day.My group didn't arrive here until six pm, which is 11pm at home. The jet lag wasn't too terrible, though I really have nothing to compare it to since Yellowstone was just an hour or two behind. We left the high school at five in the morning and rode a charter bus down to the Minneapolis Airport. I was dead asleep on during the bus ride. I was so tired! Instead of sleeping that night I went to a yay-we're-going-to-Hawaii-party. It was a good time.



The airport was something new. The last time I was on a plane I was two, so this was pretty interesting!
Some random airport pictures:



I was tired. Don't judge me.

This made me think of Sergeant Nelson and I found incredibly funny

Sara and I duking it out in checkers

They have Ipads at the airport for use!!


Then came the plane ride. I was so excited because I got window seat! Though I freaked my mom out, when I called her. She told me to call her before we took off and so I did. Well, I was about to hang up when she told me to have fun. I guess she didn't like that I replied with "I will, unless the plane crashes and hung up.

She didn't exactly know I was taking that picture...


And those are my roommates

Did I mention that I hate heights?





















We had a layover at the L.A.X airport, and then we were off to Hawaii! It was a five hour flight and for the last two hours Sara Vienna and I played Spot It.






I found this to be kinda neat



We were so bored



HAWAII!! 
One last look at our plane

Ya, we're still at the airport



That's a pretty sweet tree!




The bus ride to our hotel:






Would you believe the gas prices?!




Right after we got to the hotel we left and walked to dinner. The hotel by the way is open. The entire first floor is just open there's no walls. But you can't get to the other floors unless you have a key. Dinner:

Proof that he wears shorts!

JNQ at Mt. Itasca

Yes, I did another JNQ race, and this time it was at home. The day before the race I had a high school one. It was our first (and only) pursuit of the season and man was it a sad one. Most of the time either couldn't make it or was sick. Maggie showed up and wound up just going home. The two of us went out to do a warm up/see the course ski and after the first hill she was dying. That weekend she had an uber high fever and was just sick. I went and did the first race and just had to puke the entire time. Afterwards I did wind up puking a couple of times, and decided that I just shouldn't do the second race. Even though I was sick Friday I still decided to race on Saturday.I did the women's 5k and think I did decently. It was a tough course, well mostly it was just a tough beginning. This is what we did; the right horseshoe into the swamp loop, up the switch back climbed all the way up the way, did a loop up top, went down part of bunny hill connected to the service road,...

Breakups

Well this is a sad a post. I'm sorry for that, feel free to just skip this one. Go on, move on to another happier one. It's okay with me. Just get out of here. Go find a love story. We might as well start with Autumn and Calvin. They dated for over a year and were the first one's in our group to actually date. They made a cute couple with their every Saturday dates, and nicknames, and whatnot. We all thought they'd be the next DAndy (Dan and Andie, a couple from our school who started dating in 8th grade and are still together going into their second year of college. And yes, they go to the same college), but apparently not. Calvin started being a real jerk, and Autumn wasn't putting up with that. The rest is history. Then there was the double whammy of Bailey and Max, and Jake and I. Both in one day...ya... It wasn't planned, and neither knew about the other until later. The weirdest part is that both happened at the same time. The day started out with me a...

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...
