This morning after arriving at Cedar City High school, I had like 6 hours till my race was supposed to start. So I did a warm up mile with Kenzie and one of her friends to sort of loosen up my legs before I had to actually warm up about five hours later. So at about one in the afternoon, and I was supposed to race at 1:38, I went for a half mile warm up around the parking lot and then came back and grabbed my spikes and went over to the bullpen. I was seeded in heat 2 lane 4 for the 400 which was before my 800. So I was stretching in the bullpen because I didn't want to be in the sun before I raced if I didn't have to be. So they finally called my heat to go over to the line so I grabbed my water bottle and went down to the grass. I put my spikes on and did drills and strides before they lined us up in our lanes. They stopped the race because since I am in the "young men" age group I was forced to start out in blocks. So since I had no idea what-so-ever on how to do blocks I kept the blocks the same as the person who ran on them before me did. So the gun went off and the whole field went out really fast! I was last in my heat so I didn't think I made it to finals tomorrow but I did! I was 7th overall and the top eight qualify for finals. I ran a 59 which really sucks but I was dead! I had about 40 minutes till my 800 started so I went back to the tent sat down for 10 minutes got water and went back to the bullpen to be seeded in the 800. I was in heat one seed 10 with my GHETTO 10!!! I was still dead after the 400 and I knew this was not going to be a good race right from that! So they lined us up and were off. I go through that 400 in 69 seconds and then I start hyperventilating and cant breathe! So I keeled over at the 450 meter mark and was taken to the medical tent for like 20 minutes or so. After that fiasco I go for a cooldown of about 2 miles then took an ice bath when we got back to the hotel. |
