Today was my first cross country meet, in Frogtown near Angels Camp, CA. At around 5:00 this morning, we left from the school for a four hour drive. I was in the car of Tom Light, the cross country coach, with Michael, Addison Miller, Casey Reeves, Katie Nuss, and Marie Vastola. While it was still dark we listened to our iPods and slept, and took a rest stop at Casa de Fruta at about 6. When it got to be lighter we had random conversations about past classes and other related things.About 9:15 or so we arrived at the course, a grassy park area, and had to quickly warm up because the race began at 9:30. It started on a large gravel expanse that sloped up into the dry dusty hills. The course went about a mile in the hills and then back down around the park, then back to the starting area. My time was 15:36. Casey and Addison got 9th and 10th place so they got medals. After we went, it was the freshman girls, sophomore boys, sophomore girls, etc. Once the races were done and we had rested and drank Vitamin Water, we got back in the district vans and headed back.
On the ride back, we switched up and I was with Casey, Addison, and Marie, plus Leif Swenson and Alec Giurten, two sophomores who I know from band. We played a fun game where one person would say a food, and the next would say a food name that started with the last letter of the previous. We kept getting stuck on things ending with e, and soon ran out of types of egg dishes, so it got really random and out of control with things like egret pot pie. We got back to the school around 3:30.
