Relay meet, did the longest one they had (800) My time was 3:51, and I know I could have done way better than that.

13:44 for 2 mile
3:52 for 1000
12-22-04 W, 51-35 vs Shepherd Hill
13:59 for 2 mile. I hate it at Tantasqua, especially when you gotta run around the track 22.5 times. They have an extra lane on the straightaway where the finish line is, on the inside. Didn't really notice those cones, and got DQ'd.
1-5-05 W, 56.5-29.5 vs Millbury
Yippie, finally a not too terrible meet. I got 13:24 for 2 mile, passed a dude at the finish, felt good about it until I discovered he still had a lap to go. In the 1000 (almost missed this one, thanks Paris) I got 3:47. I was in the back of the pack (or maybe the people behind me were too slow to be accounted for on the results sheet.) With a half lap to go, I passed 5 people. Now it's on to next week, maybe I'll surprise a few people.
1-12-05 W 65-21 vs Northbridge. L 34-24 vs Uxbridge
Well, thats just strange. My 2 mile time was exactly the same as last week, and my 1000 time was 1 second slower.
1-19-05 W 51-35 vs Grafton
The 2 mile definitely isn't my race... In other news I hurt so bad after it I couldnt even lay down comfortably. Time- 13:50 it's so awesome finishing last. Chad broke a record with 5.6 for the 50 yard dash. And I think Doug broke some other kind of record in the 600 with 1:25.
2-2-05 SWCL Championships
I was ready for this meet. But the 4x800 (what I was running.. a relay race with 4 people running a half mile each) was one of the last events. I kept getting more nervous to the point where it was making me sick. When we sat in the shotput area waiting to get started, I felt like I was gonna crap myself. When I saw Jonathan come down on his final lap the official told me to get in position, and I jumped on the track and everything went away. I took the damn thing and ran my ass off. I didn't have any sort of plan, I was just focused on running fast. I didn't even know how many laps an 800 was. But I made my team happy, my coach finally said something about me on the busride home, and most of all, I made myself happy. 2:38.
The girls finsihed 5th with 35 points, Tantasqua won with 93. Our team, after winning
last year, finished with 63 points, second to the boys Tantasqua team with 87.

Doug finishes 2nd in 600 with a 1.21.96.
2-12-05 District E Invitational
For the team, the last day of Indoor Track. A few still have to run in the All-State Meet.
Even though I was there as the backup for the 4x800, when Paris couldn't run, we
used Paul.
Even though I ran through the whole season with terrible shin pain, I still enjoyed the season. I'd like to thank Doug, for he gave me a lot of good advice during this season that I will remember in the future.
