First Track Meet

It has been a long time since I have been to a track meet (last one was in grade 7). So I ran horribly, because I was too cold (didn’t warm up properly) and my body froze when running the 1500m (which I went for warming up). However, that run didn’t warm me up at all. Anyway, I am not a long distance runner (even though I ran 7.5 laps before) and the irony is that I am actually in short distance and running for the 1500m! Oh, yes, there were no PG score keepers to time the runners so we ran without knowing our time.
Before the track meets ends, we took bus while the other people (girls mostly, the guys disappeared) were driven by their parents. And we saw the Not In Service sign on the bus over and over again.

Since this is only the first time (next meet is on Wed next week), I shall make a list of what I am going to bring that I didn’t bring this time.

• Warmer jacket
• iPod
• Crackers or chips
• Books /work to do
• Blanket or something to keep me warm
