Shoreline Park Meet

So, since my multimedia class has ended the blogging project, i won't be updating this as frequently. however, i'm going to try to update this for our meets as much as i can. so, today we had a meet that Dos Peublos High School hosted today near shoreline drive in santa barbara, near the pier. it was a relatively flat course. today was cold, and somewhat windy as well. we ran in our grades and top 20 of each grade got a medal. of course, no surprise, melissa and erick both medaled in their age group. overall, it was a pretty nice meet. not the best we've had, but not the worst either. :) i'll be back later, hopefully, with tri-valley league number 2. :)

so, i like this picture, i photoshopped it and all to make it go with my theme of cross country. i'm pretty proud of it. :)

Song I'm YOURS by Jason mraz

So, straying from my normal topic, i'd like to introduce my favorite song by jason mraz. here are the lyrics:


Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
I like peaceful melodyies
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
I like one big family (2nd time: I like happy family)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won't hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No I won't hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours, I'm yours

So, this song is basically somebody telling somebody else that they're theirs and to live life the simple way, enjoy life, and don't make things so complicated. it's a good song! XD

The Best Slushie Run Eva

So, yesterday, we had probably the best slushie run ever, although we were really missing people like big kubota and lauren colomy. :)

so, varsity boys and various others here and there ran to la mirada before looping back towards chevron gas station (santa monica exit) varsity girls and a few others did craven's loop (loop down cravens and around kim's market) and everyone else ran slightly past santa monica, turned around and then ran down santa monica to meet everyone at the gas station. i happened to be in the group that ran to cravens! very proud because i kept up with my bff buff scotton and we ran together the entire way. next time, ima run with erick cruzzz. (not. haha)

i had a mango apple slushie. trinidad martinez had a mix slushie of cherry bomb, banana, coke, and mango apple. noe gomez had an awesome banana slushie. all in all, it was a great day.

and thank you to our coach silva for everything!

TVL Meet #1

Yesterday's meet was not the best meet our school has had, but it was fun. we competed against oak park, oak christian, la reina (all girls) and fillmore. our top 3 girls on varsity (our team) were melissa tovar (surprise surprise, hehe) kathy delk, and annie kwong. the top 3 girls for junior varsity was nancy aviles, amy avila, and dani madden.

i am not quite sure about the boys results, but i do know for sure that erick cruz and jose sanchez were first and second on our team.

i shall be back later with actual team to team results.

it was a good meet, no one got lost (as i had feared) and no one tripped or died or was paralyzed, or attacked by rabid squirrels, all went smoothly.

we will not have our next meet until next week...

since we had a tri-valley league meet yesterday, we think we shall go on a slushie run today! they are the best runs ever, but we still have to run to the chevron gas station to get the slushie. haha.

so, yepp. i'll be back with more results! (hopefully)

Awesome Stuff

So, as I have been telling everyone for the past forever, we have a meet today, that we are hosting. the course consists of running lots of loops around the school, running half laps on the track, and then the phrase 'left right ghetto left.'

it's all cool, really. yesterday we did a light workout, a dyke (mile) for a warm-up, then drills on the field followed by 200 yard sprints. the end of the race that will occur today has a 200 yard straight sprint to the finish line, so we did those.

i hope that no one gets lost while running today. the course isn't that confusing, but it involves lots of running around in the same circles. it's kind of tedious really. once i start, i'll be wistful to end it, which i guess is a good motivation to run faster to get to the finish line earlier then usual. unfortunately, that involves moving your legs faster, and i'm not usually in such a mood to do so. especially when you've already run a mile and you have it in your mind that you have 2 more to do.

i'm sort of racked with nervousness (is that a word??) because i'm running varsity, and i have never run varsity ever before. i can only hope that i don't a.fail and b.come in last.

so, yepp, that's it for today, i shall return tomorrow with intel on results and the whole melissa-tovar-and-erick-cruz-got-first-place-again dealio. wow, lots of hyphens right there. haha.

okey doke, later for now... o.O

Funday Monday Summary

So, the fact that yesterday was Funday Monday, pretty much sums it up. We ran a half dyke (around a half mile) for a warm up, then we went over the course for wednesday. (how do you spell wednesday?? wednsday...) we ran the last 2 miles, the 2nd and 3rd mile of the course. melissa and erick being all hard-core of course. david chamlee and buff scotton (my friends and also team members) left because they had a 5-page english book report/essay of some sort to do, only to find out the next day, that it was a 4 page or less essay.

anyway, to continue some results from saturday, we now also know that erick cruz came in 33rd, which is pretty gnarly. erick cruz himself is pretty gnarly.

so, we're all looking forward to hosting the tri-valley league meet number one tomorrow, but not that stoked about running in it. haha. i'll be back...later...at some point in my lifetime. but this is it for today! XD

Blue Lagoon, UCSB Weekend Meet

the Weekend Meet at the Blue Lagoon, UCSB went quite well for the girls. we beat fillmore and also nordhoff. at this particular race, top 20 runners from each grade get a medal. our very own faster-than-lightning melissa tovar got 9th place overall and was the only girl that medaled. i'll find out more of the results today after school.

since it's funday monday, we'll probably do some gnarly running for practice today. most likely running on our home course since the first tri-valley league meet will take place at the school on wednsday! can't wait for it!

i'll update this once i get more of the results for saturday.

Weekend Meet

yesterday we did a light run to memorial park, though the varsity group doubled over to the salt marsh before returning to the high school. the other group went straight back to the high school. we (the 2nd group) ran down salt marsh and then stopped at coffee bean for water. saturday, we have a meet at blue lagoon, UCSB. i've had bad experiences there since last time i took a wrong turn and ran an extra half mile...haha. but i'm sure that won't happen again! :) can't wait for it!

Viola Fields

The meet at Viola Fields on Tuesday was very fun! Cate and Bishop was there and we ran against them in girls and boys. Here are the results:
Girls:
1st: Cate
2nd: Carp
3rd: Bishop
Boys:
1st: Cate
2nd: Bishop
3rd: Carp
Our very own awesome Melissa Tovar came in 3rd and our stupendous Erick Cruz was 1st! The course was a fun one and everything went smoothly. There weren't any major or minor injuries whatsoever. well, none that i'm aware of anyway. haha. so, there's the update!

Meet!

Hey! So, in my last post, i talked about the meet we will have today at viola fields in carpinteria. we will run against bishop and cate. it will be 3 miles. the carp xc team gets to leave school early for it, yay! since we had a meet today, we just did a light run yesterday, 2 dykes around the school (about 2 miles) and other stuff. so it's all good. can't wait for the meet!

Hi!

So, hello. This blog is all about Carpinteria High School Warriors cross country.
Our first meet was 2.5 miles at Wallerd Park in Santa Maria last Thursday, and our second one was at Lake Casitas up in Ojai the previous Saturday. We will be running the 3 mile course at Viola Fields in Carpinteria. This meet will be hosted by our very own school.
