Athletics Day 2013

31st of October 2013. I woke with a start feeling pumped and ready. I had a feeling I was going to do well today. I ate a huge breakfast of mueslie and put on my Te Pahu t-shirt. Today Im going to be representing the school not Tahuanui. Shortly after I got onto the bus. I talked to James for a while untill we got off the bus. When we got to school we were surprised to see that the feild wasnt set up so us P.E monitors had to set it up. Athletics all kicked off at 9;30. The 12 and 13 yearolds started at discuss(thats my group).Then hurtles and then long jump(one of my favorites). James jumped first and got 3.23m and then I jumped 3.60m. On our second jump amazingly he jumped 4.03m then I jumped 4.03m. On our final jump he jumped 4.16m and I jumped 4.23m claiming first. After long jump we did sprints, another one of my favorites. I was so nervous and on the first race I got third, I had a bad race but then in the final I got first winning sprints also. Next up was high jump, my legs were really sore. We had the paterangi mat and pole aswell wich everyone dislikes. I had won all the high jump trainings and jumped 1.40 my personal best early that week. In the end it was me and James left and it went on for ages. So it was a tie and then we sat down but they got us back up because there had to be one winner. Well anyway we ended up putting the bar down to 1.26m and we kept knocking it then James just got off before the bar fell down. I jumped and hurt my led aqnd fell on the ground. I had knocked it but I got second overall. Shortly after it was shotput and I threw a 3kg shotput 8.6m claiming second. At the end of the day I got 2 firsts 2 seconds and a 3rd. What a great day.
