Athletics Day 2020

Hello fellow people!

Yesterday, on the 5th of March, Hornby High School had their school athletics for 2020. Beforehand you were supposed to pick between competitive and social, social is where you do athletics but your scores don't matter. It's just a matter of trying and participating, you could even just skip or walk for sprints! For competitive it's the opposite you have to care about scores and be competitive. So you have to try your very best so you can get a high score. Which leads you to have an opportunity to participate in the Canterbury athletics. I have never picked competitive I had always picked social, so of course I picked social again. 

The day started off with us doing our first two periods of the day and having a short morning tea to get food into us. It took a while until we had our first round which was discuss. This particular sport is something I'm bad as I have small and wimpy arms before we went to discuss. My friends and I decided to watch the competitor's sprints and they were really fast. When I did discuss I was really surprised because I didn't want to try my best which you were allowed to do. As long as you participated, But it actually went pretty far. It stayed in the plate position while it was in the air which has never happen to me. After that we did sprints, and I was really excited because I love doing sprints but it turns out I trained too hard. For nothing, because I wanted to verse people and be fast but they decided to walk so It was a bit embarrassing.  

Next, we played shotput that was also our last it went decently far for my spaghetti arms so I was proud of myself. I achieved coming first in the sprints which didn't matter but was still proud of myself. The relay at the end was amazing I was screaming and cheering for  blue house. I was smiling at the end and was happy for my house which is blue. Because they won after trying so hard. This year my athletics was boring because I wanted to compete so now that I have learned my lesson. Next year I will be joining competitive instead so I can really run my best with competing with other people. I also want to be able to compete because I am competitive I love winning but I am not a sore loser.
