So after being in class today I remembered this particularity bad day. It was about a year and a half ago when it happened.
Okay to give you some background first. Going into my last year of track I had high expectations. The year before I could not compete because I had pulled my hamstring. Going into my final year of track I was expected to take two to three seconds and two to three firsts. Along with my finishes I was chasing my fathers two hundred record that he had set close to thirty five years ago. He had run a 21.4 and if I could run a 21.6, with the timing standards of today, I would consider us even. This was my true goal, to beat or at least tie my dad's record.
Now about the day at hand. To start the day off we had the 4x100 meter relay. We had our third leg back finally after missing the whole year with a leg injury. This would be our first time running in together and it was our only time that year. This first part of the video is what happened.
So the good news is we did complete the race(before I fell) and we did so in a record setting time. I had some injuries from this "wreck." For one I had tore a big chunk of skin off of my left hand.
Along with the hole in my hand I had scraped up my upper torso and chest. To compete in my events for the rest of the day I had to wrap my torso and chest.
Although I had had a long day, overall it still was a great day. The last event of the day was the the 200 trails. After a rough day, I was excited to get this last race down with. I only had to get in the top five to advance to the next day. This is what happened.

I had pulled my hamstring again. I had not been able to compete in long jump or triple jump. These events I was hoping for a first or second place. Also I could not run the next day in the 100 or the 200 which I confident in my abilities to take second in both. The one good thing that happened was my relay team had won the 4x100 relay.
Caenis/Caenus- After defilement by the great god of the sea, she wanted this to never happen again; as a man she/he would never endure it again.
Lapiths and Centaurs- If anything can be learned from this gruesome battle it is to watch how much wine you drink, especially at a wedding.
Caenus- Although he could not be killed by sword, the centaurs still found a way to kill the mighty Caenus.
The death of Achilles- The gods had it out for Achilles and yet in his death, men honored him.
Ceyx- A king was deceived by the treacherous Pelus. The Wolf- Blood can frenzy any beasts to do almost anything, even to disobey orders.
Venus and Adonis- Although Cupid's arrow had struck the goddess, she might have fallen in love with handsome Adonis anyway.
