I am really. It's our schools yearly sports day and it will be my last one. I'll be running 100 metre sprint which everyone stops what they're doing to watch, especially as we are the oldest year and thus the most entertaining.

So, 900 people will be watching me run tomorrow. I seriously better not trip in front of that many people.

Anyway I doubt I'll win, I'm going for 2nd/3rd out of the 20 boys running.

Wish me luck...

I'll let you know how I get on roughly this time tomorrow.

Are you allowed to take shoes off? i can run about 1/3 faster with shoes off. Dont know if you want to try this. If its on grass that is :9 with 900 people you will probs be on a proper running ground?

It's a proper track yeah. I'm pretty sure you have to wear trainers, as they said we can't use spikes.

When I was in high school the elementary school had a track meet at our school. One of the grade six kids ran with spikes on a rubber track (for the 100m sprint). He got stuck and fell. Sounds funny, except on impact he swallowed his tongue =P

You're right, that does sound funny.

I'm not that bothered about it, it only really takes like 0.2 off your time because of the better acceleration at the start.

We can only do 2 things and relay and we don't have enough people for relay. I'll just be sticking with 100m this year, I struggle to run 400/800m.

We had loads of sports days. I used to do the Long Jump quite alot, after we got older we just started bunking and playing football in the park or something. (What? That's better and more energetic than Olympic sports - Screw the Olympics, screw you all)

Yeah my mates bringing a Football so that'll be good.

When I think about it sports day is the only good school day I have. We don't go on trips at my school or anything, 'cause we're all poor.

Yeah so I'm seriously fucked, i just need to unwind now.

First race, got into finals easy no problem, 13.4 seconds.

Finals, Bad start and managed to push myself back to get 4th. 13.2 seconds.

I had to do relay as well, but we won that.

Overall a fun day, the weather stayed good and we had an ongoing 5 hour game of Football.

its pretty nerve-racking when you have to do something like the 300m hurdles at a state meet and hundreds and hundreds of people are watching you

Winter Track
-1000m
-i will probably also do the 55m hurdles next year

Spring Track
-800m
-300m intermediate hurdles <-------very hard race
-i might also do the triple or long jump next year

400m is harder, the girls do 300m here. I'm gonna put it out there n say running at the national finals is more nerve racking.
