2/8/21: Travel day

Today I spent 8 hours on a bus traveling with my team to our championship meet. It was the longest ride ever! It was terrible because I felt so sick and nauseous the whole time. I tried to work on homework but was unsuccessful. I just could not focus because I felt so sick. The only way I could feel okay was to lay across the seats and put a sweatshirt over my eyes. It was terrible, but we made it to our destination. I am nervous even though I don’t compete until Thursday. Tomorrow we are just practicing and then there are 2 relays at night. Each team only gets one relay so I am not on them. It is only Juniors and Seniors. I am okay with that, I just hope tomorrow I can be a good teammate and cheer. My goal for tomorrow is to relax, smile and have fun!
