Whitewater Drake Alternative Meet

This blog is about my 10K I ran at Whitewater Alternative Meet this past Saturday. The pic above is what I wore in the 10K minus my New Balance 1000 track spikes. As you can see I wore half tights again and these half tights were my buddy and Lil' Bro UW-Stevens Point's Tim Baker. I reason that I wore them is cause he didn't know if he was going to run the 400 hurdles cause he was hurt a little bit and didn't want to injury himself cause WIAC Conference Meet is this weekend for him. In the 10K I was seeded 1st and that shocked me but the other three guys, Lawrence Guys, had NT, No Time and beat me but I score for my team GMTC. Durning the race I passed and laped a Lawrence girl and knew that three was three Stevens Point girls in the race but when I looked behind me in the race I couldn't see them. In one feel swept I saw all three Stevens Point grils and past by all three which was one of my goals cause I thought cause they are from UW-Stevens Point that one or two would beat me. Also, the wind on the homestrech was pushing us back and I was a great race with a time of 41:41. Also this meet day I had a Bro Day with my Lil' Bro Tim Baker and we even eat luch by the water pit of the Steeplechase which was cool while watching the Steeplechase. All in all this was a great day and a great meet.

St. Nobert's Invite

This blog about about my Steeplechase race at St. Nobert's Invite and this is going to be a short blog I don't want to talk bad races too much. My Steeplechase was my Personal Worst, PW, race ever. I usally run the Steeplechase between the time of 12:30-13:00 and in this Steeple race I got a time of 15:07. When I run the Steeplechase race I am so short that I have to jump on then off the every Steeple and in this Steeple race I need to get myself over the Steeple with help byself. I hate this. I hope to do another Steeple this season to make it better Steeple race

UW-Platteville Invite/Wisconsin Luther Invite

This blog is about two different meets in the weekend. I was to run at one meet but got to run at the other.

I was to run at the UW-Platteville Meet in the 10K, only if the 10K was combined, bt they cancelled the 10K cause I was the only one running in the 10K. So, I tried to get into either the Steeplechase or 5K. They said that they wouldn't run a slow heat of the Steeplechase which I understand. Then in the 5K they said that I was too slow for the slow heat cause they guys in the first & second heat were in the 15-16 minutes for the 5K. I didn't unbderstand why they just let me run the 5K cause they had just droped 40-45 minutes off the schulede and they just couldn't let someone who ran about 2 and half to 3 minutes slow in the 5K into the 5K but one heat of the 100, 200 and/or 400 last about 2-3 minutes cause of the Ready, Set, Go. Then I saw the Results and the last guys in the 5K was 17:26 and my seed time was 19:07 and that got me mad that I didn't get to run the 5K at UW-Platteville Meet.

On the other hand, I went to the Wisconsin Luther Invite thinking I was going there to watch the meet and not run in the meet. But I got to run into the meet thanks to The Carroll Cocah, Coach "T," and my GMTC Coach Ken Woodall I got to run the 5K. I wasn't ready for the 5K cause of how cold it was and I get a time of 19:49

Carroll U. Invite

This was the finally the first of the outdoor season after my first two meet where cancelled cause of snow. At the Carroll U. Invite, my home meet, I ran 10K and this a tradition at this meet. I ran this 10K with some of my Carroll distance runners I coach and love as family. It was a cold day so I didn't get the time I wanteds but I ran a 41:02 so close to getting under 41 minutes. I fit was a little warmer I think I would have ran a little faster and maybe gotten a pr.
