So track started at the beginning of March, and it's been really boring. I mean really boring. Due to the fact that we have all this snow and it just keeps coming, we've been inside for the entire season. Not even kidding, we've only had a couple of outdoor practices and that's only been when we have those few nice days.
Okay, I'm going to go off on a tangent right now and discuss the weather because it is pissing me off. First off all the weather is so crazy. One day school is cancelled because of a snow storm, the next day it's raining like crazy and the next day everyone is in shorts. That's what the weather has been like for the past couple of weeks, not necessarily in that order. It is so annoying. It even snowed a couple of inches last night!! Ugh.
Anyways, back to track. Not only has the weather been terrible, and not only have we been stuck inside, but the workouts have been really easy. I'm not just saying that because the ski season really got me into shape, but they're actually really easy. Two years ago we were doing really hard practices right off the bat, one year ago we were doing hard workouts but not as hard. This year, nothing. I just want to curl up into a ball and cry because of how easy it is. I love hard, sweat like crazy, muscle fatigue, you're going to sleep hard tonight workouts.
I'm pretty sure KJ (coach) is getting sick of hearing me complain about it being too easy and that's why he's letting me do some harder workouts. Like today I'm going to do 4 800s with 6 hurdles spaced throughout the the track. This way I can work on distance while also forcing my body to get used to having to go over obstacles. It'll hopefully help me be a better 300 hurdler.
Also best news ever!! We had one outdoors meet this year, it was last Thursday down in the cities. I did high jump, 100 hurdles, 300 hurdles and lastly the 2 mile. Now I'm sprinter in the spring and have only done one distance run this year (a two hour run out to blackberry), so the two mile was...interesting. The only reason I did it is because there are only 4 (now 3) events that I haven't done yet in track and the two mile was one of them.
Well I failed at high jump. I really suck at it and don't know why KJ keeps putting me in it when all I do is eat bar. Next was 100 hurdles which was really fun. The timing was spazzing out, so they had to restart the computers and we wound up having to wait around for a long time. Us hurdlers became best friends during that time and it turns out that all of us are going into the medical field (except one girl who will be a lawyer) and so we're all going to start our own clinic and call it Hurdlers. I came in second in my heat and third overall. Then in 300 hurdles I came in FIRST! I've never won a varsity even before in my life, and I was so excited!! Lastly the 2 mile. I umm....well I came in second! Hahaha
Over all the track meet was a lot of fun and we didn't get home until after 2am.
Okay, well I've got to go practice, so see ya!!
Thank you for reading :)
