So I know I’m always talking about my track team and what I do, but it’s only because I love it. This past weekend was the start of my first outdoor track meet of college. We went down to Ohio where my coach used to go to school; The University of Cincinnati.  This was a five to seven hour drive and it was very tiring.

So to go to Ohio I had to get up at 4 in the morning and get myself situated and make sure I was all packed. After I did all that I left with one of my teammates and we walked to where we catch the vans for practice right behind RMU. When it hit six we were ready to get on the road. I instantly fell asleep and somehow woke up when we were in Indiana. Downtown Indiana looks just like downtown Chicago which is why I was confused at first about where I was.

After I looked around I fell back asleep and woke up when we had a break. When we had our break I knew we were close. Once we got to Ohio we got some food then we went to the school. I must say that school is huge! It was a beautiful school, and something I wasn’t used to. So while I was looking at the school I was told the hotel was within the school which was really cool to me.

So we put our stuff up and changed and got ready for practice. After practice we got something to eat and had a team bonding moment. After that we just hung out until it was time for lights out. Since I am a thrower I had to be at the buses at 8 because I started my first event at 9. I was extremely nervous but excited. I did ok for my first meet but I still could have done a lot better.

I ended up breaking the hammer record and the shot put record for our school, so I have three records under my belt. I plan on breaking my own records this weekend. Oh I can’t forget, on the way home we got some amazing ice cream, never tasted anything like it. But overall I loved this trip and I plan to kick butt this week in Memphis.

Well as some of you may know, the women’s Track and Field season is over, unless you are going to nationals. I am not going to nationals this year, but I’m hoping I’ll be there next year. In order for me to get there I’m not going to be a lump on a log and just sit around all summer. Some friends and I are actually going to work out and condition over the summer. I’m actually excited about that because I can’t wait to get into better shape and be better prepared for next season, next year. The fact that I have someone by my side while getting in shape makes everything easier. Now that I am off track, I am going to be way more focused on school and try to get a job and maybe even play another sport; but come January, I’m going to be better than ever and more than ready to make that trip down to nationals.
