Alli's running blog

Dhells invite was today. I only was running the 400 & the 200 in the medley. I know I know, what the actual heck. Nothing distance. Today was just the 400 and I wasn't a very fast race but I liked the way I ran it because I ran it smarter than I ever ever do. I had a bit left at the end and was able to pass people & gain on people when they were all tired. It felt good. The track meet itself was really fun even though the weather was crappy, shoutout to Eugene cause I heard his name on the loud speaker thing and then sought him out lol cool guy

I have no idea how far I ran today. Not very. I had the 200 in the medley which I was terrified enough for cause I'm definitely not a sprinter. Anyway so they shot the gun and Lexi was off, then she got to me and a combination of the fact that maybe she was running slower than we practiced and maybe I took off faster than we practiced made it so she had to yell to me to slow down, well I did, but I was about to pass the exchange zone and I still didn't have the baton, so I turned around and as I did she went to put it in my hand and it totally fell straight to the ground. I didn't know that even if it dropped you could still go, I thought we were disqualified... so after coach yelled at me from 100 meters away to run lol.....(my mom said we stood there for a good 15-20 seconds..) I ran my 200 and got the baton to cierra kind of. Then Rylee ran and we actually ended up 5th in 2 heats so that's pretty good. We definitely would've state qualified but life happens so maybe if we get put in it again we'll do better.
