The 800m race

On Saturday, 27 September, I ran an event called Top 15, hosted by my school. It was a track event that lasted two days and consisted on 1500 athletes and more or less 50 schools. It was hectic.

And keep in mind, I have NEVER ran a track race, I'm barely trained, I'm just overall slow and I don't have the strongest heart, so this race.. was hard. Really hard. I ran at 10:30am and it was really hot that day. I didn't have spikes so I had the extra weight of my shoes.

So, I ran the 800m in 3:30 with a 4:18/km pace and DIED. I was so embarrassingly slow, but it felt so horrible I was so dizzy and faint and I couldn't breath. When I crossed the finishing line I collapsed on the ground.. embarrassing.. but anyway, I'm just glad I did it, now I know where I am in terms of fitness and best believe I have some work to do.. 

But regardless, the track was beautiful, people were nice, and going to support on friday was so much fun even though I was there from 1:30pm to 9:30pm.
