Never say that. We survived the Semi-State and made the state finals... As I stated before we were running without our #3 runner. Ok bad news for the Semi-State but hey that's no big deal, Right? How about 50 meters into the race our #1 runner (18:46 PR) gets tripped. Our number 2 runner falls over her and the rest of the team has to come to a complete stop behind them. Amy went down so hard it ripped her number right off the front of her jersey. The race did not have a recall starter so they didn't call it back. At the 400 meter mark we held 143-150 (out of 152 runners). Amy got up and came all the way back to finish 10th (she got up to 3rd but was to tired to hold it). Our 3-4-5 runner ran the races of their live and really saved the day. They came back to finish 36-41-47. As a coach seeing that happen at the Semi-State after everything these girls have worked for, it was heartbreaking to think they might not be running this week. In the end we got 5th and we were only 29 points out of 3rd (which is where we predicted to finish). That behind us I want your help. Saturday is the State finals (ironically we host the state finals) and the race is at 1:00. We have a team breakfast and then watch a inspirational movie before taking the bus to the race (the bus is only because it's easier in the crowd, the course is not at the high school). So I'm asking for movie suggestions. Remember that these are high school kids and we try to keep it PG (Without Limits is not PG, we've been through that before). With that limitation let me know what you think.
I haaaaate being sick. I've had what I thought was a summer cold...which turned out to be the Bird Flu. I have yet to figure out how so much crap can be in your sinus's and how it won't ever seem to go away. Anyway, I am actually feeling better and I'm back on the war path, so to speak. Saturday is another trail race. This one is a half marathon and the course is tough. Creeks, hills, trists and turns....I think the course record is 1:31. I should be ready to go by saturday. Anyway, I did go check out the new Spiderman movie. I would say it is the best of the 3. However if you didn't watch the first 2, it will help to go rent them first. The way the movie develops is has much more meaning if you see the first 2. My 12 Hour race (that I direct) is coming up in a month. We have 9 states represented as of right now. We had a lot of fun last year and this year looks to be even better. Check out the website www.hawthornhalfdayrelay.com
Happy running everyone.
