First event- Long Jump
These SAA people should at least measure properly. The stepping that i used was screwed. 1 meter away from the board. How horrible! I could have jumped so much further!
First jump. 1 meter from board. Coach was like "!!!!!!! You are 1 meter from, the board!!!!" Then told me to move back 1.1m so that i can jump closer.
Second jump. Still quite far. Grrr. Was told to move forward 40cm. I was quite surprised. though 40cm away, can still jump 4.9m +
Third and final jump. Moved up. Coach told me. JUST GO! Overboard. Though by a bit, it was still counted as a fault. GRRRRRRR. Horrible rule.
Overall, quite a fruitful experience. But with a price. Strength sapped by a bit. But i still have another event looming.
Second event- High jump
My arch nemesis. The last time i came, i was recorded as:
Hum Qing Ze.
Jump: NIL
I didn't cross the first height.
But now. The tables have turned. With a new heart, i took the jump.
1.4m. (practice height). Crossed it twice. Already over the moon.
1.4m (competition start). Crossed it in one try. It was an improvement already.
1.45m Crossed it in one try. Amazed.
1.5m Crossed it in one try. Shivering with happiness
1.55m All three tries failed. probably because it was a above my personal best.
// Note to self, gotta overcome 1.55m//
Well, it was a great experience!
