after our school athletics carnival a couple of weeks ago, where i came 7th in the 800 for our year (year 12) in a time of 2min25secs, which i thought was pretty good considering i never done athletics training before, and the shoes i had it one gave me the worst blister i've ever had on my foot from that run.

So i decided i'd take a hike down to athletics training which started today, to see how if i could do something - my brother came 3rd in the Australian Schools Championship in 1991, so maybe i could do something like that (although not quite to that extent).

BIG MISTAKE going down there :p never been more buggered in my life at the end of it, really only last for 25/30 minutes, but it was solid work during that - can't believe i didn't throw up at the end.

But i guess it only do me good, even if i don't get to represent my school at our major carnival in 8 weeks time (which i probably won't as its to much improvement required in not enough time) the worst thing that will hapenn to me is that i'll get some fitness for footy.

Anyone here do athletics?? if so, what events and times/distances do you do?? or is anyone here a follower of the track and field.

The last time I did any aths was the Year 9 house aths, I was running anchor on the 4x4.

Well by the time I got the baton, out of the 8 teams, 5 had already crossed the line and the other 2 were both at least 300m ahead of me. I had to run the whole lap on my own!

Never did any aths after that:D
 
Like Fat Red, I haven't done athletics since High School, did high jump, long jump, hop, skip & jump as it was called then, now called triple jump I think & the javelin, high jump & javelin were my most successful fields.
 
I did all the throwing events in high school and won most of them every year. I seem to be pretty good at throwing stuff around.
