Ran up Mount Mooney 10 times as our warmup for the o-training... yeah.....

Same o-training that the juniors did on wednesday that couldn't get to. the whole pupose of the exercise was to read your control descriptions really well so that you knew exactly where the 'control' would be once you got into the circle. what made it really tricky was that the 'control' was a little piece of paper nailed into the ground. had trouble on a few of them, but some of the control sites were a little sketchy.

"Warmup" run of two laps around the school, but by the second lap, it had turned into a tempo run! ah!!

Running laps around the field... super duper boring!!! first set of 5 were at an easier pace, next 5 were hard, and then the last 4 were pretty slack cause the other long distance runners and i kinda cut a few corners plus a whole lap.. teehee it was mind numbing anyways.

Got to the school for my concert, opened up my trombone case... and uh oh, not mouthpiece. had to sprint home and back to get it... and i did it in record time!!!

all of the warming up and cooling down i did for all 4 of my races

First race of the day... kinda settled into a nice comfy pace and didn't really bother trying to keep up to the pickering girl who was leading for all of the race except for the 20sec where i had the lead!! yay!!

Most intense 400 i have ever run!! a few girls started out wayyyyy too fast and burned out at the 200m mark so it was just me, this girl who was leading, and then in second, just a few steps ahead of me, a girl from Beatice-Desloges. i was soooo incredibly tired, and my legs and arms were completely numb, but we came out onto the final straightaway, and we were both just booking it. i wasn't sure if i was gonna be able to catch her, but i had some beef with her, so the last 10m, i just sprinted my guts out, and i leaned over the finish line, yes i actually leaned over it... and i beat her by 0.04 seconds!!! holy macaroni!!!!!! defintiely a photo finish!

Steeplechase!!! without water!!! :(
had a pretty good race, though i didn't push it enough on the last lap and so i couldn't pass the girl who was leading... shucks!

I have no clue what my time was since it was the 400m in the medley relay. i think i did alright though.

C • Great Job!!! 4

Rocking the roads on the way to tutoring!!! a new pr of 22min!!! yeah!!! the way back wasn't as fast since the roads were wet from a thunderstorm that fortunately stopped about 2 sec before i stepped out the door.

also biking to and from band practice with my trombone on my back... got a few interesting looks...

most intense game of fireball i have ever played!!! had a few rivals going on between classmates which made it even more exciting!!!

played some bugby afterwards which is just basketball and rugby put together... kinda weird, but really physically demanding!!

Crazy start for the relay, but once i got out into the woods it was alright. calf was cramping up like crazy which sucked on the hills, but i still really enjoyed the course!
