Today we had the first Tiny Tots meet ever for this year! So I arrived at the track and saw Andy and Tolbert and they asked me to do Shot Put. So of course I said yes because I didn't expect to be doing Short Put for 5 hours straight! So I was standing in the sun for 5 hours measuring the kids throws, I was going to do the 400 but I didn't hear the final call for the 400 so I missed my age division. So since I was burning up and already had no energy because the sun wiped my energy, my race then and there was going to be bad. So they made the final call and I went over to the bull pin so we could be seeded, I was seeded 2nd in heat 3 so I still had like 10 minutes because the 3 to 12 year olds were in 2 heats ahead of me...... great more waiting in the sun!!!!!!!!!! So they finally line us up and the gun goes and were off!

As soon as the gun goes off I was in 2nd place, I overheard the judges coach tell this kid to go out super fast thinking I would go with him and die off, but I didn't go with him, the Judge kid went through the 400 in 58 seconds and then he slowed down a lot! He finished with a 2:18 HAHA. But anywase it is better than what I did, So I go through the 400 at 70 exactly what I needed and I wasn't tired so I start picking up, well what I thought was picking up the pace but infact since I was alone or I thought I was alone I was slowing down. I slowed down so much that a girl caught up to me. With 200 meters to go, this girl passed me so I couldn't let her beat me so I go on the outside on the final curve and me and her were battling it around the final curve then with 100 to go she got a new gear or something because she blew me in the dust and beat me by 4 seconds. I finished 2nd overall in the boys so I did qualify for regionals which was my goal but my time was very disappointing, I know I could have run a lot faster! 

Since I did a mile and a half warm up including the  8 strides I did in the blazing sun above, I did a mile and a half cooldown waiting for awards. Then I went back over to shot put and decided to throw, I was the only Young Adult that threw today so I placed 1st overall with 2 scratches and a throw of 11 feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
