ive just been on a week long camp to Port Arthur (south of Tasmania for any aussies who want to know) and it kicked arse.

sailing mountain biking and rock climbing for 5 days is awesome, even if it does completely screw you over. camping for me is cooking on little portable stoves, sleeping in tents and getting about 6 hours sleep because it gets light at 5am.

any rock climbers here? (i was climbing up 13-17 degree climbs and just want to know how hard they really are) hanging off a 40m cliff by one foot and one hand looking at the ground with bout 20m between you and the water is amazing, best feeling in the world :D.

mountain biking was sweet too, outstripping cars along the main roads (bout 45km\h) is sweet then running down some truely awesome drops was amazing. riding along the cliff tops (some as high as 200m high) which was incredible, really makes the pain worth it, eg getting up that high in the first place :P.

sailing..... i nearly died :(. the skipper decided he had an itchy nose and let go of the tiller, meaning we capsized, i was crewing and hit the water, with the boom (horizontal thing the sail is attached to)landing right on top of my face, almost knocked me out :P. after that we had to try and get the boat back up using me (completely useless and almost unconsious) and my skipper, which isnt easy :P.

so it was a great camp with loads of graeat stuff, so i feel completely stuffed, but amazingly fit

omg, i feel like im about to die.

for the last month i havent stopped through a combanation of music (im a trumpet player, and i just passed my 3rd grade exam YAY!!!), cricket, hockey and athletic commitments.

on all weekdays i dont get home before 6pm and for the last 2 weeks not before 7pm. add this to exams coming up so loads of homework and u may get a picture of my life atm.

but its all worth it, my aths squad has a chance on making nationals in sydney, and with cricket its great cause i feel my skills improving at every training and same with hockey.

and font get me started on athletics. in 6 weeks my 200m time has gone from 27.3 to a 25.4, and my 100m time has gone from a 12.9 to a 12.3.
these improvements are massive for someone my age and i dont think ive ever felt stronger in my life. i am off to state champs in this comp on tuesday, aiming to come in the top 3 in my 200m race and doing well in the relay.

so now im having a slow long weekend with lots of junk food and sleep. sweet!

I just went to the NSATIS athletics carnival (northern state) to represent my school.

wat a carnival! one of my friends won the 100m (meaning he is the best runner in the north of the state) in a time of 12.04 (awesome fast), came 2nd in the 200m with a time of 25.00 (damn fast) and won the 400m with a time of about 56.1 (f-ing fast).

i went to go in the relay (U15 mens) and wat a race, as because of injuries and that sort of stuff we had never had a training together as a team. OMG, we ran a sub-50 sec time to win it by about 15m. wow, i cant believe it, fastest relay team in the north of the state, its such a good feeling.

YYYYEEEERRRR!!!!!! (im excited btw)

OMG, wat happened to my camp! in the 2 weeks its been running its gone from being a small camp with 3-4 members to being the single largest camp on this site.

this must mean that most gamers have lifes outside of gaming. this is a very positive response to my call, and im very happy that i can make a small contribution to anybodies life. :P

i just had an aths training and i was quite impressed at how well a did
im a average height 15 y.o so this is pretty good
my time in the 100m was a 12.6
in the 200m i broke my PB to post a 26.1 (YYYEERRRR!!!)
then in the Triple-Jump (hop-step-jump for the uninformed:P) i improved my jump by 1m to above 11m

im stoked :D
