The races I participated in were the 1600, 800, and 400 in the medley. All these races were near the end, so I had one race after another and got tired really fast.
1600- I warmed up with Stoner for a while and we both started the race in the first heat. I was doing good but I really wished I could have ran it smarter which I know I could've. If I had gotten 8th place I would've scored a point for the team which would've been awesome but didn't realize that until after. Overall it was a good race and probably my favorite although I was hoping for sub 6.
800- After warming up with JP and Ali (who both did awesome but JP didnt get credit for getting first place!), I started the 800 in the 2nd heat. I started out in 2nd behind a girl who started out way too fast. She died out in the last 200 and I passed her only to be passed and outsprinted at the end by the girl running behind me the whole time. My finishing time was 2:51. Also a PR. This was a fun race and it was cool to finish in the front :)
400- Coach decided to have me run the 400 medley this morning. Jp, Cierra, Stoner, and I practiced handing off the baton before it started and I was so tired I knew I wouldn't do very good on this 400. I didnt get my time but I knew i didnt do great but i gave it all I had. I like relays and it was fun working together as a team. We finished with 5 minutes.
For my first track meet it was pretty good and helped me set goals for future track meets. |
