This past weekend marked the official end of summer for Pat and I: Long Beach State had their first cross country meet. That means that the season is in full swing, Pat will work long hours and be away for a bunch of weekends. The first meet was in nearby Fullerton so I had a chance to go, cheer on the team and take a few pictures.
The girls at the starting line. They are the ones in the black just to the left of the little break in the middle. It was really difficult to pick them out because the girls to their left had on nearly identical uniforms.
The girls pack broke up right away so each girl was coming by individually early on. That makes it difficult because watching a cross country race involves lots of running back and forth to catch runners on different parts of the course.
Our guys in white at the start of the race. They looked really focused...
They did a good job staying in a pack at first.
One of my favorite things to do is watch Pat during these meets. He runs back and forth yelling gems like "remember--there is a lot of race left," "nice and steady, nice and steady," or "settle in, settle in" as they run by.
