First multi of the season!

OMG! Today is the first day of our first multi! We were hoping it would be our second but weather decided otherwise. We're competing at UC Berkeley. There are 6 women in my group and 12 guys in Josh's. Josh starts at 11:25 with the 100 meter dash. He then has the long jump, shot put, high jump, and 400 meter dash, in that order. I start at 12:15 with 100 meter hurdles. Then I have the high jump, shot put, and 200 meter dash. Weather so far is totally beautiful!

This season so far we have only done 2 other meets. We competed at an all comer meet at Cal a few weeks ago and then I competed at our old alma mater, UC Davis last week. At the all comer, Josh did pole vault and long jump while I did long jump, high jump, hurdles, and the 800. Last week I did the long jump and hurdles. Can definitely say we are a little rusty but those meets sure helped get the kinks out. Super nervous about high jump and javelin. This season our training had focused mostly on running and less on skill events, meaning we have some big holes in our repertoire. That's the name of the game though: maximize your strengths while minimizing your weaknesses. This meet is really going to show where we need to place our focus for the rest of the season.

We'll update hopefully after competition today. Wish us luck! Naymoo!
