Hootenanny

The day that I waited for all of track season had finally arrived. The second annual hootenanny. It is more than just a get together with the team. To me it signifies the beginning of cross country. The day that we all come together and meet our new recruits as well as learn about how our summer training shall go.

I picked up one of my new teammates and we went off. We talked throughout the car ride there and I was able to find out what kind of person he was. We got there and began to socialize with everyone. Everyone was playing games outside, getting to know each other, or catching up. A few minutes later coach brought the guys team together, it was meeting time. We received our summer mileage goals. I'll leave it at that.

From there we ate and talked until the girls meeting was finished. Afterward we got a chance to have some friendly competition in the park. Kickball started it all, the teams were pretty even. In one inning 3 balls flew my way, the first one bounced off of me, the second I ran to and caught and the third bounced off of me after I hit the ground hard.

After Matt popped the ball we decided to play ultimate frisbee. A tournament started and our team dominated. We came back to coaches house tired and thirsty and we all just socialized.

I am pretty excited about this season.
