go on a trip to the U.S.A so i could explore some parts of the amazon. The first thing i was going to do on my adventure was Kayak the Amazon river. I had already planned ahead, I had already planned to hire some stuff such as I had hired a nice 4wd range rover for the tough parts of the amazon and also a kayak for the Kayak trip down the Amazon river. I had double checked all my gear such as my snack and my safety backpack just incase of emergency. I launched off in a nice calm part of the river, "Thats good a nice calm day" I thought to myself. I had been Kayaking for about half an hour when I realized it was getting a bit tough to paddle. At first I thought I was just getting a bit hungry so i stopped for a snack, i must have lost track of time because buy the time I looked back at the water it was all rough. Small waves of water smached up against my kayak throwing me side to side. I struggled to paddle to the waters edge, the sudden gush of water didn't stop and the water just kept speeding up until I heard the sound mashing water and this time I wasn't just because of the water hitting the rocks, there was a wterfall up ahead.The waves of water were getting bigger and bigger, then one smashed my kayak right against a rock. I decided to take a risky leap, it would've been worth it eaither way. At the same time that I lept out of my kayak a huge gush of water swept away my kayak forcing me me into the water. I managed to grip onto the rock that my kayak smashed into and heave myself up onto the rock. Luckely i still had my safety backpack, I decide to fire up one of my flaires otherwise i could have been on that rock for god knows how long. I kept firing them up till i had one more so i shot it across the trees it may have caused a fire but that wouold have been a good signal. I heard a helicopter but this was the one time i actually liked the sound of it. I waved my arms like a mad dog and then it dropped a ladder. This is one adventure ill never forget. ||

media type="custom" key="20809540" Track Athletics 10-13 September 2012 - Good techniques for all athletics races. -100m = 100m is pretty much a sprint so go your fastest straight away and maintain that speed. -400m = 400m you go medium speed around the first corner than almost full speed around the rest of the first lap to get a good place and then go back to your average speed and try to set your own pace than start to speed up around the end of the second to last lap and the last lap. -800m = 800m is called the shortest long distance or the longest short distance and is a good race to pace yourself do not waste your energy at the start you need as much energy as you can get for the last 2 laps. -1500m = 1500m is the race where you want to get up to the front at the start and then pace yourself until the last lap where you only speed up a bit untill you get to the last corner that's when you sprint.

 * || = Splash, haha Josh and I were watching these three me play golf from our hut when the younger one of the three me pummels a golf ball into the dirty pond. Sure it wasn't the safest thing, having a hut right next to the golf course but it was interesting watching them play. If you crawled right through to the end of the hut you could see a little pouch sort of thing which is where we hid our lollies. We had snapped and moved around a whole lot of branches to extend the hut, but we weren't actually aloud to get the lollies but hey that is why we built the hut so we could not be seen with them. Josh's big sister Olivia was walking around with her friends and she walked right past us so we took a leap out of the hut and we gave them a fright. After that we called it a day and headed back to Josh's house, and just in time for lunch. = ||
