We won our first match of the league last week. We played at
home against West Nairobi and I won my match 6-0. It was interesting to play
against this school, as I realized that I had more fun playing schools where I
lost than playing this match. I think we have really developed as a team over
the past few months. Personally I have been able to play with more tactics, but
I am still lacking of confidence and regularity in my play. The next match we
are playing is against RVA. This will be a tough match as they are all very
consistent and hard hitting players. I will like all matches try and perform my
best, have fun and improve on any strokes I can.
This weekend we had the ISK Kasarani meet. It was a meet
only against ourselves but the outcome was very helpuful. I must admit that I
did not really understand the point of only competing against our school, but
after a few race I realized the level of sport we had. I was impressed to see
some of the athlete compete. In practice they did not seem to be any
outstandingly good, but on the competition day one of them broke a school
record and won all of her races with amazing times. I do not feel like I
performed at my best, due to me lack of training. I have not been able to get
back to the shape I was in, at the end of last year’s season. What I think is
affecting my results is my high lack of endurance. As I have stopped doing
swimming, my endurance has dropped and for this reasons my 400m was quite
disappointing. On the other hand, I did get my personal best results in my
field events. I re-broke the school record for shot put, which was 8.12m and
which is now 8.70 meters
