400 and 4x4
400: 64.3 or something. I'm taking this as a learning experience. The girl in the lane outside of mine started to cut in too early so was in my lane and once we were allowed to cut in she ran basically into my side so I punched her. I got angry, tensed up, and locked up so the second lap was pretty much terrible. Though now I know I need to stay relaxed and keep calm even when things don't exactly go my way. I don't need to mentally make things worse for myself.
4x4: 4:12 (63.2) better than at CMU as a relay though we had some actual competition this time. Leslie, Gavy, and Kaitlin ran well and handled the pressure of the competition and I'm proud of them. Unfortunately I couldn't finish for them and got passed in the last few meters going from 2nd in our heat to 4th. Probably the worst feeling ever dropping the possibility of scoring and staying in 2nd or 3rd as an overall team. It was a better 400 than in the open and I tried to stay relaxed but I'm just not able to kick it into the higher gear to get the times I was getting last year. Though I have to use this meet as a stepping block to better things at conferences and use it to stay motivated these next two weeks at practice. My race will come...hopefully soon.
