48th National Interschool Track and Field Championships

This week was the 48th National Interschool Track and Field Championships held at Choa Chu Kang Stadium. It takes about 40m to reach there by car. Yes, it's far!



I had signed up to represent the school for 800m and 1500m. The 4 heats for the 800m 'b' boys was on monday at 3.35 pm. I arrived at 2 pm to warm up . I met up with my cjc running mates. Three of them Kubo, Timothy, and Reuben were also running in the 800 'A' boys. Kubo and Timothy qualified for the finals .Congrats!!



When the time for my race came, i was excited. Would i do better than last year? I hoped to do better. There were 18 boys in my heat, i was in lane 15. There was a starter's gun and away we ran. It was not easy to run against top runners and the other athletes. I came in at 2m 29s, not very good i must say. However it is a PB over last year's timing of 2m 36s.



The 1500m on wednesay was later in the afternoon. I was in the last of 4 heats which started at 4.55 pm. After monday, I just paced myself to better my PB. I ran the race in 5m 14s and it was a PB. I did not qualify for the finals for both my events but i did PB's for both.



Just looking forward to my next race!!
