Regional Cross Place Research Paper

Right after I finished the regional cross country meet, I knew for a fact that I was going to go to state! A hard week of practice went by and we were all ready to roll. The rays of the sun had not touched the small town of Stratford when we left for state. After a long dreary ride, we finally got to our hotel and checked in, we decided would go take on an adventure at the mall of Round Rock Austin. We all decided we would stay together since the mall we went to was an outside mall and there were a lot of people we didn’t know. A short time of two hours went by and it was time to meet up all together so we could go to our next destination. We all agreed we would go somewhere to go eat. We decided that we would eat at a mexican restaurant called …show more content…
We told him our drinks. A few minutes passed by and he came with our drinks and brought us some chips and salsa. It be at least forty-five minutes until we would get our table and order our food. The hunger in me was eating me alive! I was starving. I at least ate two little baskets of chips and salsa. The little gadget Coach Martin had started flashing violently and making a weird noise, and that right there was our cue that our table was finally ready.

The whole squad met down in the lobby. After we were all there we hopped in the suburban and went to go eat some breakfast. We arrived at IHOP. We walked in, and made our way to the front desk to get our table. The waiter brought us our drinks we ordered and asked if we were ready to order.

We munched it down, left a tip, and we were on our way to the most exciting place of our lives. We pulled up to Old Settler’s park and I felt that there was a whole zoo in my stomach. I was really nervous. We all thought it would be a good idea to go walk the course to see what the challenge was. It was steaming hot outside. We walked back to our families that were chilling under some trees, and watching the race that was being held. We were all nervous. It was about time for Vanessa and I to start warming up. We went for a five minute jog to warm our legs up a bit. Then we heard the announcement to start heading towards the starting line. The nerves in me grew bigger and bigger. Usually in a regular cross country meet you are put in the same box to start with your team. Vanessa and I were in two different boxes. Which kind of had me worried.
