SAISA TRACK AND FEILD
I was much exited to be travelling especially with all my friends. I never been to Dhaka and I didn’t know what to expect. I never did a track meet either so I didn’t know how good the other people were. The trip there and back were fun, we stopped in the Bangkok airport for a while were I ate burger king. In the track meet when we first arrived we had to wait before we got picked up. In the mean time there were people practicing on the field from another school. They looked very good. But they didn’t intimidate me because they were not in my event. The first night I couldn’t sleep I had trouble because I was too exited for what was to come. The first event was the 1500m and it was my event. This occurred before the opening ceremony. This is when I tore my abdominal muscle and so I couldn’t run anymore. That was it for my Track me I thought until the high jump. This was before I knew I tore my muscle and so I went for it anyway. I came 8th out of 16. I was hoping to do better but I am sort of satisfied with my result. The others were very good and there was so much competition. Then the 4x400m came along and I had to race in it. we came 5th overall and I was very proud but it was not the smartest thing to do as after the race I couldn’t even stand because of the pain. The second day I had to rest I didn’t do anything. I was getting ready for my discus throw on my 3rd day. This was the longest SAISA event because there were more schools. Even though one school only brought 5 athletes. I had to run the 3000m but I decided to avoid that and rest my muscle for the discus throw. It was a very good idea because the timing for the 3000m was too good for me to place but I managed to place in the discus throw. Everyone around me was very tall and big. I was surprised I made it to the top 6. It was sad leaving such a fun even but it was time to go home. I would love to do it again it was a wonderful experience.
