2 WEEKS OF VACATION

@ VA Beach the XC boys had an awesume time. We dug a gigantic crater on the beach with plastic shovels, we launched jelly fish from the balloon launcher, played hours of sandy V ball, almost got ran over by a Marrine training raft while chacing crabs around on the beach at night, broke a 4 person bike we rented while racing, and just hung around the camp sight being guys.

@ Cousins in southern OH, We shot off some illigal fireworks, set a few thousand tobaco plants, went swimming, played paintball, hit my cousin in the danger with a paint granade, and ate a lot of good food. Had so much fun.

The Tip Relays went pretty swell. We roasted greenon in the 4x16 and the 4x8, they barely got us in the DMR. The only thing is that in the 4x16 we had no compotition after the first 800m of a 6400 race.

Points earned by 5 distance runners = 28

Points earned by entire track team = 113

I also just qualified to fly solo at Youngs.

2 Great reasons for running on The Distance Team in track.

1. 800 meter run in 2:09.80, on the second day of practice! (Nads and J-Ord had 2:08s) I definately see a 4 x 800 record in the near future.

2. Quaker Stake and Bube, all you can eat wings 9.99. I don't recomend touching the atomic wings. Me, Nate and Wess survived, but Hough and Coach Sac were down for the count (they were praying to the porcelain god).
