Intrams, Fight of the Fittest




    Sports. It's a favorite event of anyone who's physically and mentally fit, well, actually someone who's just fond of getting energized. And just this past few days London has once again had its "Olympics". Olympics is an event wherein athletes from around the world compete. They compete with one goal in mind, to be first. 

   Like here in our school an annual event has also occurred, and it's called the Intramurals or Intrams.Wherein all students from each year level perform the sport that they've chosen. Like what I've chosen, Shot put, it was the only sport left on the girls list and I had no choice. I was somewhat curious of the sport yet bummed out since it's a sport where in your arm strength is tested. Yet, the ball used in this sport is heavy and I'm a bit weak in that part, but oh well. After a few days it'll begin, the Intrams. 

   How was the intrams for me? How did I felt while being at my chosen sport? And most of all, what really happened that day? Questions that would probably ponder our minds and what did I really do that day? I mean, to be honest I'm not a big fan of sport but I wouldn't say that I hate it or anything I'm just not that interested.

   It was a two day event and as usual I got bored. I think I enjoyed cleaning the room, rather than playing. Besides the noise from the screeching crowd ( which I really dislike since my ear becomes sensitive), I kept on having the feeling of isolation. It was really a good time to lay back and sleep in the room to be honest but I can't since we have to support our year level.

  When the second day arrived it was time for the other events; including the throwing events which includes shot put. At first I didn't feel any tense but as soon as they called my name my body began to somewhat shiver. As I threw that small yet heavy ball my shoulder shivered too and after those three trials the result fourth place. "Oh well" are the words I sighed to myself. I wasn't really that prepared or anything at least now I know how it feels to throw something that heavy and besides, my other competitors are a lot healthier than me. So it's like they say 'All's well that ends well'.

   I wasn't really expecting to be first, hence, the experience. I didn't exactly enjoy everything but at least I learned something new from what I've done and I'm satisfied with that. Others may say that they had fun or the opposite of that but for me all I care is that we did have fun in our own little ways. That two days was enough to keep us energized while having fun.
