Term 1 Holidays 2015

During the term 1 holidays I was training for athletics. The athletics training was for going down to Hamilton and competing in interprovincials. Interprovincials is when provincials from all around New Zealand meet together and have fun competing against each other. 11 athletes in each provincial were selected. The grades were 12/13. It was held in Hamilton over the Easter weekend. The teams travels to Hamilton on Good Friday and returned on Easter Monday:

The provincials that were competing were

• Auckland
• Wellington
• Canterbury
• BoP Waikato
• Northland
• Southland
• Tasman
• Counties Manukau
• Taranaki

There were plenty more but I can’t remember them.

The Auckland team left at Mt Smart Stadium in a bus precisely at 10:00 am. When we arrived at the stadium we hopped off the bus and took our training gear and inside the stadium. The stadium was called Porritt Athletics Stadium. First we went around as a team for a warm up lap. Next we did some dynamic stretches and headed off to practice on of our field events.

After we finished training we had our team photo and had lunch. Straight after we finished lunch went to the movies and watched Fast & Furious 7 or Cinderella. Most of us went to watch Fast & Furious 7.

Later on we headed to where we were staying, we were staying at Hamilton boys. Our team had our own dorm to share and we had to buddy up with someone because it was two per room. We had our own tv room, kitchen, showers and toilets.

During the two days of athletics it was fun and I met new people from different provincials and had fun with me fellow teammates.

When the Interprovincials finished we had to go back and get ready for the Prizegiving.

3rd Place went to Auckland 2nd Place went to Wellington and 1st place went to Canterbury. Prizegiving finished and then there was a disco I was very tired and sore because I was chanting as loud as I could.

It felt good representing Auckland because I have been living in Auckland for my whole life.
