Friday is going to be our first meet that is outdoors. I am rather nervous for this meet because it will be outside and it is going to be very cold out. it is predicted to only be about 45 degrees out.
The one bad thing about having a meet outdoors when it is cold out is that your muscles tend to tighten up very easily and fast. so therefor you have to keep all of you warm ups on until seconds before you run. If you don't warm up properly or warm up at all you will risk pulling a muscle when you run and be out for a while. so you want to make sure that you do this no matter how annoying the warm up are or how much you hate running 2 laps around the track before you run.
I am very excited for the meet too. It will be every ones first time running outside so our times might be better then indoor. The reason times are generally better outdoors then indoors is because the curves you have to turn are not as sharp and there are not as many. So therefore you run faster and are able to run a straight line without turning corners ever 50 meters. Also when running outdoors it is usually warmer so your muscles are already warmed up all you would have to do is get some good stretches in and strides.
The events that i assume i will be running on friday are the 200, 4x100, 4x200 and the sprint medley. I am really excited to run and find out what our times will be. I am really hoping that they will be faster then indoor because I will know then we have a good chance at competing at drake. i want to make it a goal to try and make it to drake in three events. If i do that it will make me day!!
