My coverage of my competitions, has been brought to my attention, i don’t think i have been getting vocal about them, like so many other things.
So i will give a evaultion of all of my competitions ths year, one by one.
Competition 1
In this competition all i did was a 400meters to start the season. I had been out of training for aweek, but i needed to run.
I won the race, and ran a new personal best of 52.70sec. The conditions where abit cold, and windy but its the uk, what do you exspect.
Competition 2
The very next day, me and my frend decided to attend a open meeting, near by aretrainign ground, well not that far, but we still mange to get lost. (I found it funny)
Again i ran the 400meters, this time i ran 53.70sec, the weather was cold and rain, also windy. But all in all, i was happy with the start of my season.
Competition 3
200m, and 400m i took part in. It was my local championships, in the 200m i ran 23.20sec another personal best. IN the 400m, i ran 53sec i was ok with that. This is the point in the season whne, i really started thinking about takling ti to the next level, my training. Because i was running decnet times, off basic training.
Competition 4
This is the one when i ran the 400meters, with a cold, and i was not well. I arrived late to the meeting so had to go in the last 400m race. Me and my training partner where in the race, with two other male athletes and two females. (I was not feeling 100%, but i could not let the woman beat me.
I cursed the race, and turnned it on, inot the home straight for 50meters, then eased off, looked about and let my trianinf partnre colse aout 20meters on me. I ran 55.53sec. If i can remember
(This race incourage me, because if i could run that fast, and easy,also nt feeling well, it gave me beleave that am gonna break 50sec.
5 competition
I contested in the 100meters, 400meters, highjump
I ran 11.06sec in the 100meters, a personal best, in the 400meters about 45mins later. I got cramp inot the home strainght, and had to jog the rest of the way. 59secs
Then i did the high jump, and on my forst jump, i cleared the bar, but my calf went inot bad cramp. I was lying there on the mat for 10 to 15mins, like a whale.
competeition 6
Two days after iw as lying on the high jump mat, in pain. I decided to compete, and run a 100meters. Leg heaverily strapped, and i had been taking pain killers, all the day befor, and the day of the meeting.
I learnt alot about myslef, on that day. On what iw as doign as athlete, and how i should conduct myslef, and respect mysel fin future. Because i totaly disrespected myself, in terms of abilty, and as a man.
I ran the 100meters, did’nt even warm up properly because i arrived late. I had about 3mins to get ready.
All i can say is i ran, i was in the last heat and placed 2nd. But i still beleaved i was going to run sub-11. But as i was 10meters out and i seen the clock, i gave up.
If you want to no more about, the turning point in my athletic career, find the post, i think it is called Confessons.
That was about 6 weeks ago, maybe 7weeks, i have’nt counted. And since them weeks, ago i have change alot of things. I have been training three days aweek on the track, and twice in the gym, for 3weeks now. And i train on the track on saturdays, alone.
I will return, because i think there is alot more to come. I don’t limit myself.
Basically, i don’t care if i have’nt ran sub 11 yet for the 100mters, or sub 50 for the 400meters. Because i know as long as i keep healthy and safe in life, its going to happen. Every time i have stepped on the track this year,am setting new best, breaking my own records. Weather it is rain, windy, i go out there ready to do something i have’nt done befor.
I think my trainng, is good and i listen to other athletes who train everyday. But i don’t think they know what they are doing. Am talking about other sprinters. They seem to forget the hard work, and the most important part of training is sprinting, running, movining what ever you want to call it.
Am not just a 100m sprinter, am a sprinter. I don’t need to tell people what the sprints events are.
I want to make myslef, the compete sprinter, well as complete as i can be.
Am not hear to paly games, and i ahve made my mind up now. Am serious about tis now. Athleics is the most challanging thing i have ever done. I have done many sports basketball, boxing, but never befor. Have i come accross a sport where you have to push yourself beyond your limits. There are no if buts or maybes, you must be constantly pushing yourself beyond the limit, beyond what you think is possible to stay compedative. I could easy go back the boxing gym, and hit the bag, and knock out a few, premitive people in there, who think they are tough. But quite frankly people, i don’t think that would a challanging.
What do i think is a challange, running sub 11, i want to do it, and am going to do it. I don’t care if the weather is crap, nothing can stop me. pray to god i stay safe.
All i can do is foucs on myself.
I know i have’nt got the talent of Carl Lewis, Maurice Greene, all these athletes. Because i ahev the talent that i have, so all i can do is work with that.
and i Can DIG IT
long jump triple jump, i have did these yet this year.
Thank you very much
