hi everybody
this is jia sheng
today, im going to blog about the track and field competition I participated today.
the competition is called the Allcomers meet.
it was a very valuable experience for me today as this is the first time in my life participating in a track and field competition.
personally, i think it was just some kind of practice, as you don't even get anything for winning the race. Not even an honourable mention.
But, the more i thought about it, the more I realised that I DID benfit from this competiton today because now, I have the experience of competing in a track and field race. And I bet that's something most people lack.
however, i feel that this competition is not really fair in a sense that they put all the sec1s to sec3s to run in the same event and so, we sec1s ended up finishing the race as 1 of the last ones.
although it was quite tiring, as we waited for like 3 hours under the hot sun just to wait for our own events which lasted no more than 20 seconds as it was a 150m event.
And then, after running the 20secs race, we just simply go home straight away.(sounds rather ridiculous,but it's true)
Anyway, i think that at least, it was not a waste of time and that now, i know exactly how fast the participants from the other schools ran and that's a reference as to where i'm going to set my goals.
