So FINALLY I ran. :) My right side was KILLING me though. The first part of the day was miserable. It got to the point where I didn't think I could race. I really wanted to though, and Dominique looked like she didn't want to race, but if i didn't then she would have had to. Tricky situation.
Started to feel a little bit better as time went on. I warmed up with Dominique for a mile and a half, and it felt alright. Just hurt when I twisted a little bit, so when I focused on my arms it didn't hurt. I told Bill I would race.
So then we all did strides and drills, and then handoffs (counting them as .25). Dominique's/my leg was going to be the third.
We went to the Bull pen when they called us, and then we went to the line. Our team was last from the beginning, but I expected that. When I got it, we were last by like 100 meters. I started of kinda slow then realized that I was supposed to sprint the entire thing, because it was only a 400. So I did. I felt like I was catching up the first 200, then my arms started to hurt. My side was fine!! Got to do those arm swings at night. Starting now. :)
Then I did about a half mile cool down before we had to clean up and get to the bus. I ran at state as a freshman!!! |
