Pyramid Race Results

Yesterday I had an awesome race. It wasn't as hot as last year which was good and I didn't end up with

the ambulance. On a slow course I ran 22:40 and finished 3rd overall and I won my age group.

Pyramid 5km

Today I have a local 5km race. I feel like I am in good shape and have a chance at winning my age group. Last year when I raced I had to get the ambulance because of heat stroke and I'm hoping that will not happen again this year. I'm rather excited to run as there is prize money up for grabs, and I'm hoping to get some money after last year finishing second in my age with a very poor run. It is not a PB course so the times will not be fast at all maybe around 20:30 for 5km. All in all it should be a great race that I'm very excited for.

Results

I had Inter-School athletics carnival today and I did not race to my standards. I went into the 800m not expecting to do that great, but I set myself a time to run which was 2:17. To my surprise I beat my personal best by 7 seconds running a 2:15 and was up the front and ended up coming second, losing by under 1 second.

In my 1500m I was expecting a gold medal and took off hard, I led the whole race and got pipped on the line to finish second, losing by 9 one hundredths of a second. On a positive note I broke my track personal best by 8 seconds and my overall personal best by 2 seconds. Although I managed to get some awesome PB's I wish I had won the 1500m, but all credit goes to the winner who ran faster than me on the day.

Goals For Athletics

I am going to the Inter-School athletics carnival tomorrow and I believe that I have a good chance in winning the 1500m and I hope that I am toward the front of the pack in the 800m.

I have set myself a few goals which I hope to achieve at the meet and these are.......

• to win the 1500m as well as run around the 4:40min mark; and
• in the 800m I hope to make it to Regional competition as well as run a 2:17min

Wish me luck! I will keep you posted on how the events go.

Mo You Legend!!!

How did I know, well I am not too sure but all I know is that Mo Farah won the Olympic gold and that he is the best runner that I have ever seen.
