I have a track meet friday, and last time i had one, i fell! and couldnt run for the rest of that meet. Well, like i said above, I have a Track Meet Friday, and I am soo scared!!! and I am so nervous, i have been since monday, no joke! and i have been thinking about it since then! i know it sounds crazy, but it sure is true!! SO, what are some things that i can do to distract myself from being nervous? I have a fear of falling too, i fell in the open 100M dash! and i have to do it again tomorrow, and also the open 200M dash! and i am fine w/ doing the 200, its the 100 i am nervous about. when i fell i dontknow what happened, and i only had scratches on my legs, not my hands or anything. so, i think i was breathing funny because i was nervous and blacked out. well, I also dont know weather or not to use the blocks. :/

(thats what i did) most importantly, RELAX! hang out with your friends before your event, and have a good time. (just make sure you dont overdo it!) make sure you stay active, run across the field a couple of times with your friends to warm up. hope this helps, good luck!

GOOD LUCK AT YOUR MEET... I HAVE ONE TOMORROW!!! I'm doing the 800, throwing disc ( i usual throw shot put), 4x1 relay (we are close to making states), and long jump... im a busy gal... try what i said and tell me how it goes
