First track race! I was excited but nervous because I didn't know if I would be able to do well, and time wise I didn't but at least it's the first meet. I warmed up with everyone before the boys 4x800 for 2 miles then a mile of speed changes. Then we went to a subway a half mile away to get some food but i couldnt eat anything because of my race. We went back and I warmed up again with Bill, Tilda, and Emmaline for a mile.
I am really mad about my mile, I could have done so much better but, like Dakota said about his mile, I didn't want to hurt so I backed off. I was in good position for the first lap but fell back. 5:45 was my time. After my mile I got splits for the boys miles then we all went back to subway because I was starving and needed food and so did others. Then we went to a Jamba Juice a mile and a half away. I felt my sandwich alright, but not to the point that I needed to puke. I have a pretty strong stomach. Then we went back to the track, totaling 3.5 with more uphill than I'd like.
Then I did drills and such and raced the 800, I really didn't want to but Bill wanted me to so I did. I'm glad I did, my time still wasn't too great but I competed and actually fought. My legs were dead by then so I'm happy with it. My time was 2:35. I was 8th. After the 800 we did a mile cool down and went home.
