This weekend was my first non-school related meet that i have ever watched live. Kind of weird, and unfortunately I only got to 'watch' half of it. The other half I was videotapeing, you dont get the same experience through a lens. Either way it was definintely enjoyable. 

The only problem we ran into was mother nature, big storms rolled through at about 9 o'clock a half an hour before things were about to start. After a long delay it started storming for real and everyone was forced to shelter. I was forced into the 'tech room' with a few other people to wait it out, unfortunately the room was situated at the bottom of the hill with a blocked drain at the bottom of it. The room started to flood slightly until we shut the doors and threw up some sandbags. Fortunately once that was over we were able to get the meet under way.

The 5k was fun to watch mostly because watching I was wondering how long I could have held on, they came through the 3k in 8:30 (which is my PR) and then just kept going, it looked pretty dang fun. The womens 5k was impressive as one runner led start to finish and another had an amazing finish they all ran pretty quick too one hitting the A standard and two others hitting the B. After that the 800 was awesome watching the invaders do pretty well Juan breaking 1:50 and Adrian hitting a new PR just missing the same barrier. I then witnessed my first sub 4 mile (equivilent at least) and that was pretty cool. Lastly came the Mens and Womens steeple which both were very interesting, the mens winner ran 8:43 which is one of the standards, not sure which. After that came the womens race which also saw a standard, an A standard run by Mason which also happened to be a new PR. That race definitely was interesting as there were only two people in the race and it seperated rather quickly. Overall it was a pretty good weekend for the Invaders and I definitely learned a lot.
