silver lining

the trip to the big city..Houston, Texas..venue for the C-USA Indoor Track and Field Championships:

we arrived engulfed in what to us seemed like full on summer weather..running in the early evening in shorts and crop tops (this may have been a tad extreme) and sweating like it was a summers day...
news that there were snow flurries in Tulsa only made this oh so much sweeter!
the championships kicked off friday night with the men's 5000m..at which time i got to sit back, relax and cheer for my team mates..game time for me..saturday 3.20pm..


the view by night from our room on the 27th floor..lights of downtown houston...


four to a room...and two to a bed...luckily i was with the little ones..so when they said 'roll over' i still managed to stay in bed!

day 2 on the track and both tulsa teams showed their dominance in the distance events..rounding up the competition with some blistering 4x400m relays and a couple of trophy's :)
special mention to those athletes who ran the 5000m, 1 mile, 3000m triple...48 laps around the track...thats a lot of laps!
