Today i ran at a local track meet. It was run pretty bad. I thought the meet was at 4pm, So we got there at 230pm. At 3pm you can hear crickets in the place though because there were like 5 people in the gym. Come to find out the meet is actually at 5pm.
So i warm up and get ready to run, only to find out 10 minutes before my race that there arent enough people for trials and finals, so of course we only ran a timed final. I went and sat down for 45 mintues because i decided i didnt care anymore. I was just gonna run through and finish the race because i wasnt excited anymore.
We finally ran and i ran 7.32 for the 55 hurdles. It converts to a 7.85 which is decent i guess seeing as, by the time i ran, i no longer cared.
I was a bit dissapointed though. The times id been running in practice indicate i should be running 7.75 or better(60 meters) right now, but under the circumstances i wasnt able to show it. I tend to run a tenth faster in the final and maybe, had i been able to run twice, i could have ran the 7.22 that i was aiming for. Now i have to wait until next week (maybe) if i run down in NYC. I know i should be able to run my fastest in the very first race, and i believe i could have ran 7.25 during my first race had i still been excited to race, but i guess we'll never know.
So the meet didnt go as planned but i still ran decent. Not excited, but i cant really be mad either. Hopefully this will be the last bootleg meet for the year.
i would post the video of the race, but i dont want to waste another 7.32 seconds of your lives haha.
