I was struggling at first when I simply sat down and selected songs in my iPod, because there seemed to be a lot of songs that could be chosen as long as the beats were not too slow and the styles were lively, which made me confused about how to limit the playlist to only ten songs…

Then everyone ran together down to the 50 meter mark and ran back. This was one of the best parts of the meet. The starters then lined all of the runners up on the line and off they went.
