Having been postponed for the last two days due to the typical English weather we finally got to do our events. Everyone loves sports day even if they are really bad at sport and detest it to the limit, the reason is that you miss lessons!
I participated in 3 events:
The 100m hurdles
Javelin
4X100 relay (boys)
First of was the Javelin and I won it! I am not the most well built kid and I was looking to finish in last place but to my surprise I won it! The second event was the 100m hurdles. Butterflies were in my stomach and this is one event, which I love, and I got the record time in year 7. The butterflies went very quickly, not because I was calm and ready to race, it was because something very funny happened. The races for the hurdles were set up so 3 people ran at a time, my 3 friends were first and I was in the second group. The started flying down the track at quite a quick speed, they were at the last hurdle and this is where I burst out in hysterics; one of my friends fell over! It was so funny he got caught in a hurdle and fell to the floor (not hurting himself); he sat there for at least 10 seconds. After he had been told to finish the race anyway it was my turn.
I got ready to race, trying to keep the vision of my mate falling over aside and decided this was one race I would win by a few seconds! The whistle went and my legs started pumping like mad, the finish line was already in my vision, this race was mine! I won with a time of 12:02! :) I was so happy the closest time to me was 14:37. I was only 00:25 of the school record, which has been there since 1979. Next year I will get the record!
The final event, which I was in, was the boys relay, I was in m position (4th) and the race was getting underway. My friend got us a good lead then some other kid just kept the lead with us. The baton was getting closer and closer to my palm... I was off. If you have seen The Fast And The Furious or Driven you will know what I mean by being in the Zone. My little weedy legs were pumping away and the race was in the bag. I don't know why but I hate going past all the people cheering it just embarrasses me :) I finally finished; it seemed like the longest 10 seconds of my life, I loved it though.
The amount of adrenalin that rushes through your body when you’re about to start is mad! Gaming is also like this, when you’re near the completion zone you suddenly feel the different emotions that pass through your body. If you have to fight a boss at the end it is like running alongside someone who is equally as good as you or has just got a slight edge over you. Gaming and sports (competing) are both great releases of emotion. Sporting events and Computer gaming are two things that I love to do and it is mainly due to the rush of adrenalin that I get from them, I suppose you could compare it to drug taking but without the risk of damaging your health.
Have you had your sports day yet? Do you get a rush of emotions when competing or playing frustrating games?
:) Cheers for reading.

I was always one of the rubbish sport people who got put in the Sack race or Egg and Sppon race, it's just the kindest way the teachers can think of to say "you suck at Sport now get in that sack and jump and pretend like you're doing something"
Ahhhh School sports days that takes me back...
Ahhhh School sports days that takes me back...
I didnt realise girls were aloud to enter the boys events.
Burn!
:D
Anyways... School sports days were never my thing, I just took it as an excuse to sit outside for an afternoon with no work. I used to enter in primary school, but last few years I havent. Except about two years ago when I did the high jump...the less I say about that the better.

My last sports day was 6 years ago. It was good fun, with friendly competition. And everybody got juice and crisps at the end.

You have to pay for that now! Also the school dinners are a rip off!!! I get 1 cheeseburger and a dodgey portion of chips for £1.40!

My sports day's on Wed 19th, I'm in High Jump.
Im sorry but I just cant believe what you say.
My mate, in year 10 who plays for Man Utd under 16's can only get 13 seconds in the 100m sprint. He won it this year with that score. You say you got 12 seconds in the 100m hurdles!?
Thats just unbelievable.
"Me me me me me."
"All bow down to me."
"Im the greatest"
"Blah blah blah"
Shouldve included that in your post.

12 seconds? That is pretty unbelievable, but then again, so is having a friend who plays for Man U.
If you're serious, that's pretty impressive, Kerrang.

i have to agree with Herc (for once) :p
Having a friend who plays for Man Utd is good, nothing special. He gets all the merchandise and anything he wants for free. 3 pairs of the latest Nike football boots are his at the snap of a finger. Shirts, clothes.... everything!
Ive also got a mate who used to play for Everton but got dropped.
And ive been to the trials for both Utd and Everton, but sadly never got in.
Ah well.....
