The bus ride was very bouncy so I felt very shaken when we got to the meet. Also, considering it was a bus going to a track meet it was very, very quiet...Because it was girls only! Ha. When we got there, I ran a 2 mile warm up. Susannah, Natalie, Amanda, and I found a 1 mile loop around Davis High School, so we just did that twice before putting on our spikes and going to wait by the starting line. I was placed in the first heat, which was people 6 minutes and under with Susannah, Natalie, and Amanda. They didn't do individual seeds, which I thought was dumb because Susannah obviously should always be the first seed, not the middle. The first lap I did my best to stay up with the group, and I wasn't last! Then I calmed down a bit and jogged a bit to stay warmed up for the 800. I was placed in the first heat, but when it started I knew that it was too fast of a heat for me, but I held on and wasn't last! :) Then I thought I was done, so 2 bites into my bagel my coach came up to me and told me that I was going to to be the third leg in the 4 by 800 with Amanda, Natalie, and Susannah, so after watching the three of them in the 2 mile (My sister kicks pockets!) I went to the infield with them to practice handing the baton off, because we had never done the 4 by 800 before. Amanda was our starting leg, and she got us into third. She passed the baton to Natalie, and she brought us closer to the 2nd place Davis team, and at the beginning of my leg I was ahead of the Davis girl but then she passed me, so I stuck right onto her. I passed the baton to Susannah and she instantly got away from her. There was still a ways to go to the first place team, but she was pretty close. We ended up getting 2nd. For my mile cool down, Michaela came over from her Davis Lacrosse practice to run a mile with me. I just did the same loop as the warm up, and Michaela was barefoot. It was a great meet and I'm already impatient for regions...
