So our team made the final by winning our local division, and off we went to Ashford, Kent to compete in the league final. We were clearly outclassed by a number of specialized track and field clubs (as opposed to our road running club), but we did the best we could and finished 6th out of 7 places.
I did all the sprints, javelin and 4x100m relay. The weather was a factor with a couple of torrential downpours and very strong winds on the fnal stretch, unfortunately. It was not the day for PRs. I was running in A string of all the heats (the strongest heats), and I finished dead last in all of them. I did 17.4 for 100, 36.3 for 200 and 1:18.9 for 400m. All much worse than I did in the season. I got some revenge in javelin, because it was done with the tailwind, and I got a PR of 14.67m and did not actually finish last for a change. Then I did 4x100m relay where our team was last again.
But overall it was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed a day out with the team!! |
