Athletics

[Jaztheman]

So with summer coming around, anyone doing some athletics? Had a competition today for my school against numerous Year 10s and 11s. I'm Year 9 if you didn't know. Anyway, all in all, it was a decent day. Came 5th out of 8th in my 400m race, getting a personal best of 59.5 seconds - beating my old pb of 63.1 seconds, which I got last week. A Year 11 ran it in 54 seconds which I think I can beat next year, perhaps. Triple jump didn't go aswell however, despite getting another pb. 10.03m is my pb now but only because I've only ever done it once before today. I did two no jumps however which were around 10.20+ so there's room for improvement. Quite disappointed though as I was hoping for around 10.50.

So, anyone done any athletics or doing some soon? I distinctly remember Covvy saying he was a good 800m runner.

Yeah mate. It's currently cross-country season over here at the moment. I did get into the state team for Tassie and ran 10th at the Australian all-schools. My best is 2.11 for 800m, 4.31 for 1500m and 58.3 for 400m.

I did the 400m last year and got 1:04(when I was in grade 8).

Some insane pb's there. I'm hoping to break 59 when we do the borough and will need to train for it. The first time I've actuall felt really wanting to do athletics.

Yeah, most of my mates think it must be realy boring just running around but I love it.
