commotiocordisSo you know how sometimes you've got a really good idea of how something's going to go, and then you find out that somehow you were totally wrong?
That was mock trial. Not my team's trial, we (to put it kindly) creamed the other guys by a good margin--90something to 60something with all three ballots for us. Which was expected, more or less, because we knew we were hitting one of that school's lower level teams. I think I got a 10 on my cross, though, which kicks ass, since it came to me around 3am last night and I spent the 30 minutes waiting for the trial to start jotting my notes down.
My brother's team. They were matched against a really good team. And somehow came out on top in 2/3 ballots by 1 and 2 points respectively. So barely, but they did.
I really want to see that trial now. We played against Tyler's team on Monday. They were not ready for it. I'm wondering if the team they hit wasn't the school's varsity team like we thought, because that's the only reasonable explanation for why they weren't killed. I mean, they try hard and mean well and some of them are good, but unless something drastically changed since Monday, I don't understand it.
Still. Yay, them.
Not yay, my going to the gym right after, dripping sweaty foundation down on my shirt, and not being able to walk as long as usual because of a major backache and then a twisted knee that still refuses to let me walk on it.
