Time flies sometimes when your not having fun

Wednesday and still rainy.

The track meet was a long one yesterday. There were teams from all over the state and from all classes. There were 24 heats of the 400. All of the events took forever and we left around 7:45. The two and a half hour drive home was long.

Jess did ok. She jumper 15.9 in the long jump which was a good jump for her. She ran the 400 in 1:01 which was a bit slower than we were expecting but going to Denver to play volleyball and having 5 days of very little cardio can do that to you.

She ran the 800 in 1:31 and didn't place but it was mostly her own fault. She got boxed in right away and wasn't able to get out. There were 20 girls in her heat and she just didn't get out early like she needed to.

The 4x200 didn't do well. She ran a good time but the team wasn't competitive. So in the end she got 5th overall in the 400. Which was good and she got to stand on the podium and got a medal.

I got an email from mom yesterday saying you guys had big wind in Exeter. I will have to call and get the details. We had some high winds here but not that bad. My back door was pulled off the frame and is broken in two spots. I think it can be fixed but it must have been left ajar and the wind took it.

Spring break is moving right along. I fear that it will be over in a blink of an eye. I teach tonight in Des Moines and have a bit of grading still to do.

Off to start.
