So we have made it to Johnson City, Tennessee, hone of the 2010 Indoor Track Nationals. I am racewalker Carissa!!!! We left Hannibal at 8 AM on Tuesday morning, but not before going through the McDonald's drive thru twice, because they forgot Coaches sausage mcgriddle...lol. The 11 hour ride down wasn't to bad, Cara, Philly and I slept most of the way. The rest of the time we were entertained by Coach Scott's college stories....they were pretty funny. Oh we watched GOAL! Today we went to Dick's sporting goods and looked around...can I just say that there was Tennessee Vols apparel everywhere!!!! LOVED IT!!! For lunch we had some PB&Js...but thats ohk because for dinner Coach took s to Cooty Browns..more about that later.
We went the track to workout....WOW...the track runs around a full size football field, the stands look like they go on forever. It's really cool because the track sits about 13ft below the stands. But boy was it crowded, runners everywhere, 200 athletes trying to get in final practices in before the big day.
Ohk so Cooty Browns is this place that looks like a home in the wall place but when you go in you are WOWed by bright lights and walls that are painted with all kinds of pictures. The food was amazing, I had the grilled shrimp. We had a piece of chocolate cake and key lie pie, probably the best key lime pie ever.
Cara was crowned Spoons Champion tonight beating out Coach Scott!!!!!!
Tomorrow Philly runs the prelims the 5k, 17.5 laps. GOOD LUCK PHILLY!!!!!
