Reno: The Biggest Little City In The World.

Thursday:
So the preparation begins right after school. Me being lazy, I decide to go on the computer and put music on the I-Pod instead of packing. That pretty much lasts 2 hours of my time. As soon as I finish that I begin to start packing. Sweats, shirts, shorts, racing gear, etc. That didn't take that long. After that I realize something..... I need a beanie! So I go to Walmart first to get hand warmers and crap and then go to the mall to get my beanie. PUFF BALL BEANIE!!!!!!It has a moose on it lmao. So after that I'm pretty much ready. I just upload the new Billy Talent III CD to my I-pod and I'm off to Paul's house.

I get to Paul's house and we just chill there until like 10 P.M. and then we load up the SUV and we're off to Reno. In the car is Paul, his dad, his little brother Max and myself. We drive all night so we can get to Modesto. Really tiring, I end up falling asleep in the car.

Friday:
I wake up and when we get to Sacramento we stop and eat. At this moment I can't remember for the life of me what I ate so yah. We drive on farther through when it begins to snow, the first time I've ever experienced it. Pretty amazing.

We get to Reno and we first stop and see the coarse. Me and Adrian run it in our sweats and it sucks. The terrain is unleveled and its almost impossible to pick up the pace. We put on our spikes and run to the start line without sweats. We do 10 strides on the start line in short shorts and a shirt. Beast.

We go back to the hotel and then go get some dinner. Pretty good pizza. We go back to the hotel and watch a ghost show. Knock out around 11.

-Saturday
So we wake up around 9 and our race is around 2 so we chill for a bit. We learn that the race has been postponed for an hour because of the snow so what does that mean for us? BUFFET! We go to the buffet and eat till we can't eat anymore and head back to the room to change into our running attire. So much layers.... We find the tram and I sit down and whose right in front of me? The state champ Ammar Moussa!! We were hearing all these rumors whether he was racing or not so it was kinda intimidating to say the least lol. We get there and we begin our warm-up. So tiring -.-
We get to the line and the sound the gun. I begin the race in a sprint to get in a good position but die out a little because the hill is so long. I spend the rest of the race constantly passing people and trying to make up the deficit. I get to the last 300 meters and I start to pick it up. Faster and faster, the 100 meters and I take off and pass like 10 people in the sprint. Alot of fun.
