Fun Last Week

I went and shot at Weber for the second round. It didn't go as well as I was hoping. There were 4 of us and I came in second. I got to shot last and with a shot left I had a chance to win it, but came up short and so all four of us shot again. The first guy made three and the next two weren't even able to shoot the rest of their shots because they couldn't have been able to match him. When I shot last I had one last shot to tie him. The announcer got the crowd in it and I shot. Once it left my felt like it was in, but it rolled in and out. It was a bummer but oh well. Throughout my life I have been a lucky one when it comes to winning things. I have won a total of 3 bikes, hats, shirts, Barenaked Ladies (the music group unfortunately) tickets and eat lunch with them, a movie, glasses, and many more things. So it finally looks like one person can't win everything despite what my brother Brad and brother-in-law Jeff say. This last weekend I went down to Santaquin to train with my brother Scott for the Triathlon we are doing in March. It's a 42 mile cross-country ski, bike, run. The last two weekends I have gone down to Santaquin where he and I have skied up Santaquin canyon and back down. This last weekend though it was ice which made it hard to control when coming down. We found ourselves not being able to stop or turn good. Well, I'll let the picture speak for itself. These are not the only injuries either. There are some that you probably wouldn't want to see and yes that goes along with my pride, which I am thankful is only on the inside.

Lindsey runs at Big Sky Conference this weekend up in Bozeman, Mt. She is excited and feels ready. Mom and I are driving up to watch. It's always nice to travel with Mom because we get to really have some good talks. Here are some things written on Lindsey on the WSU website. “At the first of the year I thought we would be in the middle of the pack with injuries and athletes we had to red-shirt, but the last couple of meets we have really stepped up and are on an upswing. We have put ourselves in position to win this week if we perform well. Our distance runners have been very solid and we will need them to do a lot of good things this week, led by Lindsey Anderson who is having a phenomenal season. Our hurdlers are performing well and we need them to help us out as well as our field events. We don’t have the depth that we normally do but we have the group than can get the job done. The key will be having more ups than downs.” Lindsey Anderson leads WSU women’s distance runners The Weber State women’s team will have seven seniors competing at this week’s Championship. They will be led by Lindsey Anderson who leads the Wildcats into the conference meet. The Morgan, Utah native is having an incredible season at Weber State. After leading the Wildcats in cross country Anderson has been a force in the indoor season. She leads the Big Sky in the two events she will compete in, the 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters. She posted a school record in the 5,000 meters and the second best time in the 3K. Big Sky rankings Entering the conference meet the WSU women’s squad leads the Big Sky in two events and has ten spots in the top three of an event. Lindsey Anderson leads the conference in the 3,000 and 5,000 meters and is third in the mile. Wildcats in the national rankings WSU senior Lindsey Anderson has the fourth best time in the nation in the 5,000 meters and ranks 21st in the 3,000 meters and both times are NCAA Provisional qualifying standards.
