Free Post: Track Meet

Saturday morning I woke up and got mentally prepared for my first High School track meet. This week I had to do three events, the javelin, the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash. I was so anxious because I din't know how the meet was going to be nor if we would win or how well I would do. As soon as we got there, I discovered that the weather was frigid and there was a down pore of rain, two things that make me a worse athlete. I knew that this wouldn't be a good meet for me at all. 

The meet started out with field events. The weather made everything worse, but I still had to throw. I had four chances and every time I embarrassed myself tremendously. My best throw was 76 feet, which if you don't know anything about javelin, that is a terrible distance to throw. I at least redeemed myself in the 100 and 200 meter dash. I think that I got a ton better at sprinting, and in my heat for the 100, 3 students from our school, including myself tied for first place. I liked the meet, and now I need to focus on throwing more so that I can get better at the meets.
