Colchester H.S. Night Relays - The lights were up in the football stadium, which illuminated the rest of the course that looped outside it and back around into the tagging zone. I was quite excited about this race the music was playing and everyone was cheering. The second leg of our girls team jumped on their skis waiting for the race to start. The weather was still cold on my face even though it was going to take a putty knife to get all the Vaseline off. One by one girls were tagged off and once Mattie had rounded the bend I got into the tagging zone and began to double pole. I wasn’t really nervous this time like other races, that’s kind of how I think it should always be, I do better that way. Mattie tagged my back and yelled, “go,” in an exasperated tone so off I went in to catch the girl in front of me. I was determined to keep the place that Mattie had put us in. The snow was a little chopped up from all the races before ours but that was ok. The night was beautiful and crisp so with the all excited cheers, it didn’t matter my toes were and my nose was cold. I think we all did well in our races or if we didn’t we tried out best. Even Will and Addison who had finished their races were sprightly and excited to cheer us on while they fetched our coats when we had finished a lap. Nice job team.
