Because of my performance this past weekend, Coach wants me to go to the Penn Relays as an alternate for the 4×200.
Regardless of whether or not I’m actually gonna run or not, I’m still ecstatic that I’m going. I never even dreamed that I would get to go to the Penn Relays until at least my junior year, let alone this year. The Penn Relays are a BIG deal; only the best get to go. Hell, they have races for people who want to qualify for the Olympics. It’s that intense.
And I’m really happy that I get to go.
I want to get even faster and better and running and jumping. So, along with training this summer, I’m going to be figuring out my 100 and 200 strategies; mainly, how far I should accelerate before I hit my peak so that I can be at full speed while crossing the finish line. That way, I’ll be able to run at my fastest without burning out and losing time, and a lead.
This has been a good few days, indeed.
That’s AWESOME! I wish you luck!
