Today was a trimeet at East. Since when I was TAing for Mr. Matheson, I pulled something behind my knee so it was killing me. So he let me go to the track early to start setting up for the meet. When I got there I noticed that I needed to do a 2 mile warm up then the team warm up. Luckily Bill and all of his people were there. So I did a mile warm up with Abigail then stopped and helped Susannah bandage herself up from her nasty fall yesterday and the Crazy Days Track Meet. Then I did another mile of speed changes with Sarah and Natalie. Then I did a half mile with the team. Then we stretched a lot. By this time it was even hard to move my leg let alone run on it. So I wobbled over to Tony while I was doing another half mile with Tania and asked if I should even race today, he said don't use it as a race and save your legs for Saturday and just to use it as a work out. So I wasn't supposed to push this mile but just to stay towards the back and run it as a tempo run. So before the race I went and put my spikes on and did 2 strides with those on, that absolutely killed. So I took those off and just did 2 usual ones but bare foot, those also killed. Then I did 2 more bare foot but this time I was progressively getting faster, that also killed. So I went and raced the 1600 meter. So my first lap was 83 seconds which was way slow but oh well. Then My 800 meter time was around 2:57 or 2:58 I didn't hear it very well, this time is way slow also. Then the 1200 meter time was 4:32 which is a horrible time. Then the overall time was 6:02. That race seemed sooooo long and sooo painful, I don't know if it is just that I was going slower than I usually do or if it is I was in a ton of pain and was just begging to be finished with the race. Then I saw the finish line and I started to sprint but some Stansbury kid out kicked me which made me furious. But the race was finally over. Then at the track I did 2 grass laps of a cool down then I did 3 laps on the track. The last 2 laps I did with an innertube around my waist and me, Susannah, Abigail, and Tomy had a fight with those :) Then I came home and did another mile for a cool down, just running to 21st south and back for an even 7 miles for the day. |
