Olymic meeting with Ethan

Slacked off for a bit on the blogging. Not a whole lot to relate.
Went home on Saturday to train a bit with Ethan and work on Olympic related stuff. We met at the Hall-Dale track at 9 am and did a mile together. We both did better than we expected, but were too bushed to record good times in the 100m dash. We each did it twice but the times were slow. Individual heats and both lumbering from the 1600m.
Back at the house we worked out quite a few nagging details of the Olympics and developed a fair scoring system. We also figured out the teams, though I'm not going to announce them here in case anyone is reading this. The official teams won't be announced until the opening ceremonies, but we do know for sure that there will be only two teams rather than three or four this year. It makes it easier to make the brackets. And due to the handful of people who decided to cancel with less than two weeks before the events, it was becoming more and more difficult to divvy up fair teams. I'm still expecting about 15 for the Games, but I was hoping for closer to 20. I'm particularly bummed that Fed can't make it, but he double-booked the weekend and his other plans were made in advance.

I'm going to the track on Monday to work on either the mile or the 100m dash. Jesse and Breanne are both considering attending the practice session. Even though there are less than two weeks till the events, and it won't make that much difference in our overall times, a couple practices can't hurt.
