Hello again and welcome back. This weekend we traveled out to RimRock for the annual race in Lawrence, Kansas. It was a blast as usual and we raced well, while sticking to the usual traditions. We started out Friday morning with a jog before school because we left right after school so that we could arrive to the hotel before nighttime. During school the varsity team got introduced at the fall pep rally as the crowd gave an especially big cheer for our young one, Austin Del Roso.
After school we packed up our things and got on the bus for the long car ride to Kansas. Our bus driver was definitely the best driver of my three RimRock trips. We never got lost once and he was speedy and avoided traffic. While snacking on Matt's ginormous box of fruit snacks along with our own candy and snacks the team got involved in an intense card game of 31. Glenn and Austin managed to make it to the finals as I witnessed them cheat the entire time from the back seat as I battled my Calculus homework. I prevailed and so did the two cheaters as MC became angry when he finally realized what was going on.
At the hotel I roomed with Matt. Nick and Austin decided to come and chill in our room before bedtime for an hour as we frantically searched the channels for a Harry Potter movie (its a tradition). Unfortunately we didn't find one but we settled on The Roast of Charlie Sheen, which was quite hilarious.
In the morning both Matt and my alarms didn't go off for some reason so Coach T had to call us on the land line to wake us up. I left my pillow at the hotel by accident as I rushed to get ready. It was my favorite pillow and I miss it a lot. Anyway, we were met at the race by esteemed alumni Jacob, Alex, Drew, and Matt's older brother Andrew. It was great to see them again because we always enjoy the alumni. During the race Nick finished first with a big PR of 16:55 and I also PRed, finishing 2nd with a 17:10. Matt and Sully were right behind me at 17:15 and Austin came in around 17:23. Good work boys!
After the race we took our picture on the big dirt pile. Its another tradition. We decided to go shirtless and race shorts so that we could look the same. The JV gathered at the bottom of the mound as the alumni took the pictures with Dr. Callahan's camera. Hopefully I can get some of those pictures to show you soon.
