SAISA Track Practice

So this week, I had shown up for all practices.

Tuesday (9th of March, 2010)
We (C3, 15 and over) worked on our sprinting today; first 60m acceleration, 80m, 100m and 120m. This year, a new guy came in 10th grade and he is pretty fast. It is really good to have him in the team since because of him, 15 over boys have to compete. Competition actually makes me run and makes me feel like I run faster. In fact, I have a feeling that I am doing pretty well compared to last year. I hope we all can improve more and more.

Wednesday (10th of March, 2010)
We did the time trial for 1500m; since I am not a distance runner, I just jogged around the field. Then, to show the spirit as a tracker, I sprinted the last lap with my full speed. It took me 6 minutes and 58seconds which was bad compared to others, but I was satisfied with that since I can only sprint :S

Friday (12th of March, 2010)
We worked on high jump and shot put. AGAIN, I am not a high jumper; I wanted to work on the long jump, but as a whole team, Mr.B didn't let me do long jump alone. So I had to do some high jump and I tried, but I pulled my muscle at the end. IT WAS REALLY FRUSTRATING, but I still tried. It was ok. BUT I'm now REALLY REALLY sure I should do the long jump :)
Next, we all worked on Shot put. Due to MUN, I missed all the Friday and Saturday practices before and as so I missed the shot put practice. So, technically, this was my first shot put practice. It was refreshing; I haven't done it since last SAISA and it took me a while to get my feeling back. I threw almost 9-10 meters which was good for the first trial. I hope I can work on it more later.

Saturday (13th of March, 2010)
We had three different sessions on Saturday. Because of the Food and Fun fair, we couldn't do any running, but jumps and throws. C3 where I belong to worked on the long jump first. Since this is one of my events and I came in third last year, I tried to do my best. I jumped 4.90 meters which is the season best so far, but I couldn't be so satisfied. As so I tried to do better and while doing so, I injured my back and thigh. It's still hurting.
Next session was discuss. Again, this is one of my events and the only thing I can win this year. So I tried to throw as furthest I could, but due to the injury I had on my back during long jump, I couldn't do as much as I expected. I threw 25m-ish, but again that wasn't so satisfying. I will work on it more.
The last session was high jump; this isn't my event and I was injured, so I didn't really work on it much. I took only two-three jumps total. I had to take rest for my back injury.
It was fine practice overall, but I have to work on some things like techniques more next time.
