CROSS COUNTRY UPDATE
Districts was this past week. I have never felt so anxious, crabby, excited, NERVOUS! I was ocd about getting to bed on time, eating healthy, staying relaxed, picturing my race, etc. It was nuts. I apologize to those people that I snapped at because I was so stressed:( ha.
Districts was at noelridge where I went to state my freshman year.
Temp-48, a little windy, quite chilly
Nerves- VERY high.
The race started and I got out way to slow. My coach let SCREAMED this at me so I started kicking it into high gear...big mistake. Died about halfway through. However I kept it going at a good enough pace that I wasn't passing anyone but no one was really passing me either. It came close to the end and usually my strategy is to open up my stride with 800 m left and then sprint the last 200 m with all I have. This is my forte in a race, I usually catch about 10 people at this point. However I forgot this is districts and EVERYONE wants it. Each girl on our varsity team needed to beat a dubuque hempstead girl. There was one right ahead of me at the 800 mark and i stayed with her the whole way...however her athletic butt started kicking it in at the 400 m mark. I about started crying, I just wanted to shout PLEASE SLOW DOWN! I started to go with her and I actually made it to the finish line without passing out. However, I didn't get her. I started bawling and it was awful. She was right ahead of me and I thought there was no way we made state since she beat me. All our varsity team started crying and went over to the tent sulking and crying. Our coach ran over to us about 10 min later and yelled over that we made state! It was probably the most exciting feeling in my life! We went CRAZY! Tears of sadness turned to tears of joy real fast. We doggy piled and partied:) Our guys ran after us and we thought for sure they'd get it. We were wrong:( They didn't make it which made the bus ride home sad cause we couldn't celebrate (hence we didn't wanna rub it in there faces.)
HOWEVER....were going to STATE 08!!!!!!!!! See ya up in Fort Dodge this Saturday:)
So State is this weekend therefore I gotta miss halloween:( But don't worry me and maddi made up for it by dressing up in our costumes for a party. By the way...we got the most compliments:) You'll see why when you see the following pictures! Whats funny is these costumes were made for 7 year olds:) ha. thank you deb vahl for cutting up the costumes and putting some black fabric in between to cover up our bellies.
So after the party we hit up good ol wendy's and we had to go to the bathroom. So we go inside and we decided to take some pictures while we were in there. We took about 50 pictures in there so you can imagine we were in there for a long time. Now imagine a table of reallly cute guys from uni sitting at a table that saw us go into the bathroom....and imagine there faces when we walked out about 20 min later. It was quite funny. The cutest one even came up to us and started talking to us....
