We had Sports Day at school on Saturday. I entered the 100 meters, 400 meters and high jump for older boys.
I didn’t win the 100 meters but I came in    .My friend Peter came in first.I really thought I was going to beat him.But he managed to run just a little bit    than me over the last 20 meters and broke the tape a fraction of a second before me.Next year,I’ll beat him!
I won the 400 meters.I think I am probably a better    at the longer distance.Next year,I might enter the 1,000 meters. To win the short distance races,you need to get a very good start.With the longer distance races,however,you have time to    if you get off to slow start.
Although I won the    ,it was a slow race compared with last year.I was 2 seconds behind my personal best.I know    .I haven’t been doing enough training. Next year, I must get into training at least a month    Sports Day. I will run for half an hour every morning.
I thought I was going to win the high jump but I    the bar in my third jump. My left foot touched the bar just enough to knock it down. I need to    more if I am going to win this event next year.
