Sacred Heart Invitational - October 10, 2012

I feel pretty pumped after last week's race.  However, this one was more adventurous.  It all started with waking up late on Wednesday.

I woke up at an unforgiveable time of 7:00AM because of this I missed the school bus, which was taking the cross country team over to Woodbridge.  In a desperate panic I decided to run their, which would take 3 hours, but I was desperate...my race was at noon.  However, one of the kind secretaries decided to drive me up there.  But, disaster struck.  Her car broke down halfway there.  So, with a warm thanks of gratitude I left and ran towards Boyd Conservation Area.  After 3km, I passed a gas station, and there I saw a taxi.  Taking this as a good omen I leapt in, and after 20 minutes I arrived at my destination.  With only 15 minutes to get changed, and warmed up I still can't believe how I placed 7th.  I received a sweater, which said 'Sacred Heart XC Invitational Top Ten', my parents were proud.

Dwyer Invitational - October 3, 2012

Finally, the 2012 start to Cross Country season; this year I plan to get a top 3 finish at the TDCAA Championship.  It starts here with this first meet in Durham Forest, it is the Dwyer Invitational, hosted by Monsignor Paul Dwyer SS.

The day was quite cold, and the course was very challenging...so many hills!!!  But, after a lot of hard work and determination I placed 10th.  For my efforts I received a ribbon, which I am proud of.  The next race will be in Woodbridge, next Wednesday.
