School Athletics Carnival

After being postponed twice, our school athletics carnival finally happened today. It was a good day, most people got dressed up to support their houses and people like me who wanted to have fun did.

I went in the javelon, discus, 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m. I'm also in the 1500m, which is happening either tomorrow or Monday.

I didn't do very well in javelon or Discus, cause I'm just not good at field events. Track events, though, are a different story.

I came 5th in the best heat for the 100. I lost to my friend Loren by 0.07 seconds. Which is really dissapointing because they only take 4 people from 100m to the interschools.

In 200m I came 3rd to Jacqui and this girl called Georgia. In 400 I came second - just to Jacqui. But Emma and Paris, who were in the other heat, both beat me aswell.

In 800m I came equal 4th. Yes, that is possible. Jacqui won, Loren got 2nd and Emma got third. Louisa and I both came fourth, and it wasn't even deliberate! I was behind her coming around the last corner, but then I started sprinting and overtook her. Then she started sprinting to catch up to me and we both crossed the line at the same time! How cool is that!

Mrs Burgess (that teacher who loves me and I hate her) was doing the recording (writting down our names, places, times and houses. You should have seem her face the first time I came up to her with a place card. She was shocked! Her afce was saying, 'WOW, my favourite little spock can run!'. By the end of the day she'd gotten used to me being good at something other than work.

I don't know if I'm in the interschools or not - hopefuly I am, but it all depends on how many events people like Jacqui who got into everything are alowed to do.

I also don't know how Mawson, my house, has done. They'll add up the points and anounce it either tomorrow or Monday.

Swimming Carnaval

Well, i should be telling you all about my weekend upp mt field, it was totaly awsome. But dew to the lack of comments my last awsome weekend got, namely NONE, I won't bother. But guys, if you read my blog, can you plz make a comment, even if its just 'Hey Han, i stil care about your life'. So anyway...my swimming carnaval. It was all the way back on monday. And those of you who live in hobart would know how miserable the weather was on monday morning, but for the sake of those who don't I'll describe it. Well, it was very cold and rather windy. It started raining on and off for a while around mid-day. it was just kinda yuck all day. So we were at a swimming carnaval at the glenorchy pool. And the glenorchy pool is out doors. And the only shelter is over the seats. I was in the 50m backstroke and the Mawson grd 8 relay team. btw Mawson is my house and its blue. The backstroke wasn't til the afternoon, so it was really good, I didn't get wet and cold til it was about to get sunny-er. I came 3rd. Which is farely good considering there was only the one heat and they were all decent swimmers. My relay team cane 2nd out of a field of three. I really liked that relay, cause I was swimming second and when Ellen was coming down the pool, we fell behind. Then I went and I got us back up into 2nd place!!! then we stayed there the whole rest of the race!!! So I did a good job for my team. YAY!!! In the afternoon we got a ton of free time cause the carnaval finnished ages before we had to go back to school. The water slide. Its just so awsome that I won't bother trying to descride it, I wouldn't do it justice. it was SO FUN!!! anyway...plz comment, especially if you find yourself capable of describing the wonder that is the glenorchy pool water slide.
