My final day of test would have to be the most depressing of the five days. I am not satisfied with my throws, I threw 11.49 meters standing with the 6k and and 13.59 meters gliding. Now this is quite an improvement compared to that of my past development meet when I threw 12.01 metres gliding, but I was aiming for 14 meters for the least. I felt like I had the ability to do it and something just held me back.
To top things off, one of my co-athletes threw an astonishing 13.15 meters which I took to heart because his improvement was quite noticeable as his technique seemed brilliant! Coming to think of it though, I did pretty well, however, I have quite a long way to go still and that hit me!
For me to qualify for the upcoming CARIFTA games, I need to throw 15 meters which is 2 whole meters above my personal best. Yes! That's a lot! Two meters I said not two centimetres.
I am saddened by those results, even though they're 'okay' at my level. But to end on a good note, I do have zonals approaching in two days which I am going to try to take home 2nd place behind the Caribbean record holder, Hezekiel Romeo. I know their's no chance of killing him off with his astonishing throws, so second place will be acceptable for me.... At least for now.
