FIRST GATOR MEET OF THE YEAR-THE HOME MEET

Our first meet of the year was last friday. It happened to be the hottest weekend of the summer. We were racing on the friday evening because of the football game the saturday. It didnt cool down much and humidity must have been about 99.9% as i lost about a gallon of water just on the warmup. We were all looking in good shape. Stacey and Bec wearnt able to race because of injury and transcript problems. So that left the majority of us to still run. We all ran together for the first mile. hit 5.20, was a little quick, so people started dropping off. But I felt pretty good so just slowly started to move away. I felt bad for not running as a team the whole way. But I didnt feel like i was really pushing it that much, the last mile was tough but the golt course has some big hills down the far side that we go up, so that was probs why. I ended up finishing in 17.25. averaged about 5.30's. but ran on my own the last two miles. The team did great. Apart from ali falling on her face at the start all went really well.

Looking forward to the next- Notre Dame on the 3rd oct.
