Olympics

The Olympics have started today and its really exciting. There are a number of races that I am very keen to watch, which include the Triathlon, Athletics and Cycling. I have a few winners in my mind already who i believe will take gold. These include

Triathlon:
               - Mens: Alistair or Jonathon Brownlee
               - Woman's: Helen Jenkins or Erin Densham.

Athletics:
This is a little bit harder because there are so many events but for the 10000m I pick Mo Farah and for the 800m i pick David Rudisha.

Cycling:
>-This really depends on the course but if it comes down to a sprint I believe that Mark Cavendish and i also believe that Cadel Evans has a good chance at the title after having a not so good performance at the Tour de France.        

Mo Farah, who I believe will take the 10000m title.

School Athletics 2012

Had my school athletics carnival today and had entered myself into 400m, 800m, 1500m and high jump. After having a not so long recovery after State Cross Country I went into the morning's 1500m backing myself for the win, lucky enough I was able to run an easy race into first place and get my position on the school team and running a 4:50. After suffering from an extremely sore calf muscle I pulled out of high jump to focus on my 800m. I took the 400m really easy as the 800m was almost straight afterwards. I went into the 800m thinking I was going to win and picked up a fast pace into the first lap, but a hard surge from one of the other boys shortly after shattered me. I ended up finishing second but running a nice PB (Personal Best) of 2:22. All in all I was able to get myself onto the school team for 1500m and 800m.

 This is me on my way to victory in the 1500m

State Cross Country, The Race!!!

I had my race on Sunday and it was not the easiest course that I have run. There was one hill that we had to do twice and that was a killer and there was a lot of wind. Despite not having the run of my career I managed to run myself into 31st position and a time of 15:30 for 4km.

After having a light 20 minute run this afternoon I have discussed with my coach that by the end of this year I would like to be able to run un 18 minutes for 5km.

Tomorrow I have school athletics with consists of 400m, 800m and 1500m and high jump but to be honest I may not be at the best of my ability after pulling up with really sore legs after last weekends State Titles. But despite all of this, I have a strong feeling that i will come out of tomorrow with a few wins.

State Cross Country 2012

It is only one more sleep until I fly out to race the fastest people in QLD and I can feel the nerves starting to build up. I'm not too sure if they are good or not, after last years not so good performance and a disappointing 32nd place overall. I race my 4km cross country on Sunday with the relays (1.5km) on Monday before a flight home.

Flying out in the morning and I'm starting to get a little nervous....hope I can get some rest.
