Where do I even begin with this race, finishing off my running as a secondary school student, this was the bang I needed, following my PB two days prior on the track I had recovered, refueled, rested and focused onto this event being the one I have competed in for the many years prior with the hopes to continue improving in the years like this one.

The 3,000m track race was my first of the two events I competed in at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics and Road Race Championships this year in Timaru. We travelled down on the Thursday morning to allow lots of time to get used to the environment and settle into where I will be staying for the week. I got the chance to get a shake out run in and a few warm up laps on the track to shake the nerves.
