went down to morgan st not knowing whether id feel up to racing the 1500m or not. i had woken up with a sore throat the past 2 mornings and didnt sleep well at all last night; couldve been the girl in my bed. so i slept on the way down and the rain had stopped by this point but was threatening all morning. this meet was run by a certain group of people which made for a pretty shitty time. parking was $10 and wristbands had to be worn in order to get into the stadium and on to the track. to confirm my early opinions of shittiness we had to check our spikes in to be able to check in for our event. when they wouldnt pass my mambas due to the christmas tree spikes for the mondo surface i decided that instead of rushingbto take them out racing today wasnt meant to be. so the 1500s started going off and i felt like i was at a middle school meet again: there was a bullpen in which the girls had to process out of in order, the guys heats were run as one with 25+, we werent allowed to yell any splits, there were no running clocks, lap counters or bell laps (until after the finish), and no one was allowed on the track not even to for strides. after 4 straight weeks of racing and trying to nip this illness quick i really didnt mind not being a part of this awful meet. f*** that awful group of people.
