My first Race

                                       My First Race

Sunday, April 13th, 2014 was my first race. The first race was an exhilarating experience. The race  in which i participated was the heart of Los Angeles 5 kilometer race. The race began at eight in the morning. That Sunday i awoke at 5:00 AM, i was rather nervous and confident. When i arrived i registered with my twin and my older brother. When i started i raced off and held the first position for a while until a 21 year old followed by my brother passed me. I sped across the course, but i slowed down and ended with the sixth position and a time of 18:53. I was the first child to finish the race so i felt proud but infuriated that i finished with such a horrible time.

Student Success Statement

“You will never be a winner if you lose your temper.”-Anonymous

What an insightful statement which allows me to evaluate my actions. The ability to control your emotions during a situation in which you must exhibit control such as an athletic event or an academic event. Your ability to control such emotions allows individuals to perceive you as a capable individual due to the fact that you do not allow your emotions to intervene within a certain situation. I am capable of controlling my emotions during a situation in which emotions can jeopardize your success, such as during a debate, i do not support my claim with irrational arguments,but rather with rational arguments. The inability to control your own temper represents a weakness which must be extinguished in order to succeed within life.

Triathlons

                                          Triathlons

There are several aspects associated with a triathlon that intrigue me, these include the sporting events themselves. A triathlon is a competition which involves swimming, running, and bicycling. The first modern triathlon in the united states was held on September 25th, 1974 in Mission Bay, San Diego, California. The Standard triathlon distance is swimming 1.5 km or .93 miles, Bicycling 90 km or 60 miles, and running 10 km or 6.2 miles. The longest triathlon is known as the "Iron-Man triathlon." The iron-man Triathlon was first held in Hawaii on February 18, 1978. The Iron-Man triathlon involves swimming 2.4 miles, bicycling 112 miles, and running 26.219 miles. I am interested in participating within a triathlon due to the fact that the event is amazing and i am a fanatic of endurance sports.
