Who knew running could be so hard???
Today we ran our mini track meet in gym, it was insane. I love to run and since I haven't run in forever I wanted to give this mini meet everything I had. I even put on my spikes with spikes in them.
When we went outside for our warm up run of a lap and half I went out way way way too hard. I ran that lap and a half in 1:47. Way too fast. My first 400 was a 65, what was i thinking? The only advantage to that was that i had plenty of time to strectch while waiting for the entire class to finish.
So then Kalina starts off the 100 meter dash, not nearly my best race nor my favorite one but a fun one nonetheless. The only people in my class who i feel at all threatened by on the track field are brandon smart and mike kalies, smart sat out the 100's but mike of course ran those. Mike and I ended up being the only two even competing out there because everyone else was slow.
First we did the trials and i was placed right next to mike and he burned me pretty good, maybe half a second or so, not cool. Then we come on back down and line up for the finals, remember 2 minutes of rest between this thats all; now in the finals its dustin studelska, zach zellner, andy collins, miles mayer, mike kalies, and I. Kalina has us go off and almost from the start it wasn't even a race, mike and i left everyone behind us, but mike beat me by maybe a step and a half. That sucked but he is a sprinter and is faster then me so what can i say. Give him credit cause hes fast.
Then right after that the 4 X100 meter relay. Smart took me on his team and I went off and anchored it. Mike sat this event out. We started off with matt king and 3rd place, miles got us up to 2nd and then on the handoff between him and smart it was perfect, we did all of ours blind handoffs instead of turning around to grab the bataan, shaves a full second off of each leg of the race, and smart absolutely destroyed the leaders at that point and gave it to me with a full 30 meter lead. I went pretty hard to the finish but not all out, we won by over 60 meters. That was crazy, all cause of smarts amazing hand off and speed in his leg.
Then with 3 minutes rest I go off to do the 400 with Smart and Julie Koch and i don't know the other girl. All I know is they sucked. We line up and head off, Kalina is timing us and I let smart take an early lead cause i figure I will burn him in the last 100 cause I can outsprint him. However all those 100's with no rest had taken a huge toll on my entire body, I was completely dehydrated, and my legs felt like jelly. so as we came up to the 200 mark, I came around him on the outside but I wasn't able to really kick it in and ended up losing by almost a full second
quite disappointing. smart ran a 58 and i ran a 58.92. I was very mad at myself for not winning but I have to give him credit for running a smart and good race. It was fun I hope we do this every year.
The girls didn't fare so bad in our class really, or maybe more like Miss. Wilsing's class because they at least tried in hers. Eileen did pretty good, and the soccer girls didn't do that bad either. I think though that by far the girls who did the best would be either molly pfaffenroth or lauren moroder just because of their speed and experience on the track team. Who knows maybe they beat some of the guys.
running is the bomb Im glad im back :) :)
