On saturday the 10th of september, I had my first cross country meet at Independence high in Bakersfield. People from all over Kern County came to this competition. Cross country is basically "just" running (Obviously also up hill and stuff), but like for certain miles. (1 mile = 1,6 km) Some people do 8 miles, others like me do about 2. The goal of cross country is to beat the other people in your race. There are about 30 till 70 people in one race. We have about 2 till 4 meets in one week.
My second one was at Hart park, also in Bakersfield. Our whole team messed up at that one because we were not really prepared and some people who usually run JV (junior varsity) had to run varsity and that's a longer run. I was one of the unlucky ones and I really messed up to be honest.
After our competitions we always go to in n out burgers.
Homecoming is next week and we dress up from monday due friday. I'm so excited for the first football home game and the dance. Yesterday I got my dress and today I asked one of my friends to be my date.
