SAISA Track Practice

So last week, we mostly worked on the long jump, mid-distance, sprint, shot-put and discus where three of them were my events. And on Saturday(20th of March, 2010) we had the second Time Trial; in fact, I missed the first one due to MUN, so technically, this was my first and last time trial.

So, on Saturday time trial, we did 200m dash, long jump, shot put and 800m. I think I did pretty well on my trial. I sprinted the 200m in 27.56 seconds and I was pretty satisfied with it. It was really exhausting though; it took me so long to recover from the sprint(it might be because I didn't have breakfast, but still I could barely catch up my breath after half an hour.)
Next one we did was long jump. Last year, I missed the first place by little( I was first until the two others from other school jumped further in their LAST jump). So I'm aiming to win the long jump this year. In the time trial, I jumped 5.1 meters far. It wasn't so satisfying, in fact. My season best was 5.6 meters during the practice. I WANT TO believe that it was because of the injury on my thigh and ankle that I couldn't do as much as I could do last time; I will work on it harder next time and hopefully get better.
Then, we did the shot put; again, this year I'm aiming to win this event. Last year, I came in third and those who came before me all graduated last year since they were the seniors. So I aim to win this year. On the trial, I threw 8.9 meters; again, not so satisfying. I'm aiming to win the event and I threw 9.5 meters last year on the actual competition, so 8.9 meters was good, but was not so satisfying. I will work on it again much harder to get better.
Mid-distance is again proved it's not my cup of tea, not something I can do. I did really bad on the mid-distance. Because of my ankle injury, it was much harder and I still tried my best. But, distance is like a wall I can't go over.

I will..... just work on my events. :)
