Swimming carnival today. Went in the U16s 50m and came last (they were all state team swimmers) and then swam for my house on the relay team and we came last again.

Don't your house get a point for participation

Yeah, you get 10 points per race for participation.

What.

So your final points tally is all the way in the 3000s then?

Not really. My house finished last with 640 points which shows how few people in my house compete.

Any sports carnival is a jig school day. Unless it's gala day cause thats actually pretty fun.

Out of every carnival I only ever compete in 100m, 200m, 400m sprints
but thats because those are the only ones i win elelel

The 400m sounds brutal.

100 is the max for me I would usually go in for and still am gonna go in for Long Jump and Discus - but never end up actually going to Zone even though I get in. I think I've only gone once in the 5 years.

jokes i do long jump as well lelel
terrible at all those throws though
and cross country
plus can barely swim

 

[leehuan]

I suck at sport altogether but I will happily do:

100m, long jump, discus, shot put, novelty

It takes persuasion for me to do:

200m, 400m (I will jog it, I won't run it), javelin

Rest is a no go zone, however if I were bribed with $100 I would:

800m, 1500m (jogging both kk thx), high jump

I am reluctant to run 100m :'D

Anything other than 100m run- 100m freestyle/breaststroke anyday!

Amusing anecdote I just remembered.
When the Talent 100 website and their calculator was revamped a while back, I was very impressed with the design and usability.
So I decided to send a word of thanks to the developers through the contact us page, but I got no reply.
As a control I sent another message from a different email saying I was interested in tutoring. 30 seconds flat I got a reply D
