Crazy Weekend

Not many times does someone actually look forward to having the weekend over and done with, but such is the case when you work for Dyestat. Granted, I am truly grateful for the best job I've ever had (so far) and was more than willing to go down to Phoenix to cover a track meet this weekend. The meet was outstanding; I've never seen that many good high school athletes at one track meet. Arizona track and Colorado track are like night and day, with infinite darkness suffocating the Rocky Mountains. The best part about the meet, though, was the fact that the director had so much passion for the sport, and his passion infected everyone that was involved, which made the meet run incredibly smoothly. If you're insanely bored, or feel the sudden need to look up track stats, go to Dyestat.com and search Chandler Rotary Invite. You'll be able to see everything that my dad and I did down in the desert!

The worst part about the meet - and the weekend, for that matter - was the inconvenient timing of my getting sick. And instead of being smart by staying home, taking remedies and getting healthy, I decided to just go with the flow, ignore the warning signs and ultimately pay the price. The AZ heat was awesome, but try breathing in any air with your sinuses filled to the brim with phlegm. So, for the first time since I started making trips to AZ, I'm actually relieved to be home, instead of working non-stop in the desert.

And during all this time, there was still March Madness going on. The current family standings have me sitting at 3rd, but neither my parents nor my brother can earn any more points, as their Championship teams are out (Duke getting knocked out early is like Christmas coming early for us Heel fans). I have two Final Four teams left (UNC and Villanova) and I will win the family pool if the Heels, at the very least, make the National Championship game. Take Note: Millions of people signed up for ESPN Tournament Challenge (one mega bracket pool), including myself and Bryan. Of those millions, only 12.1% picked Villanova to make the Final Four. It feels pretty freakin AWESOME to be a part of that 12.1%. If only the rest of my bracket worked like that:/

Anyway, Sports Key will be up soon, I promise! I blame being sick for not getting it up sooner. Oh and ROCKIES BASEBALL starts in a week!!!
