8-17 Emperor of the Dunes Competition

Well, another Epic Day of Dune Camp, my last. This competition was pretty crazy. I usually feel like throwing up just from running the classic uphill challenge. I won the first event. That was pretty cool. I got 13.6 and 12.9. I felt swift. The second challenge was significantly harder. It was from the edge of the lake up to the top of the hill. My hips were wasted by the end of the that. I got third and ran 1:08. The last event of regulation, I'll say, wasn't bad. It was pretty fun. It was a competition where you run up the very last part of the top of the dune and sled back down. It took me 12.6 seconds or 12.9 or something. It was fun. I slid down face first. That was good. I got second on that. I ended up tieing Travis and Joe for king of the dunes. That was pretty cool. However, it resulted in a tiebreaker, and that sent me over the top. It was only half of the second competition, but uphill sand running really makes me nauseous for some reason. Anyway, Joe ended up pulling away and becoming King of the Dunes. He deserved it. He's mighty Joe young. I got third. Finally, not least exciting, I walked down to the picnic tables at the bottom of the dunes. When I sat down, I proceeded to throw up four times in a row. The first time of done that from doing an athletic event. It's some sort of milestone. It was crazy. One throw-up for each event. It was just a bunch of yellow liquid, becuase I did not eat anything that morning. Anyway, I felt a ton better after the last time I threw up, and I got a free ride in the back of Johnson's truck. It was good. WE got our Dunes Camp shirts, and Dunes Camp commenced, for the final time....................................................................................................................of the implications...........................................................................................................................I've really liked Dune camp. I think I actually liked it a little more before with two practices a day. It seemed a little more like a camp than practice then. It was still deifnitely good. I missed Dunes mini golf, though! I would've dominated. Potentially. It's been a couple years.
