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.
