Miyakojima Track and Field Competition

Last week I had the opportunity to participate in a general track event here in Miyako. This place isn't called 'sports island' for nothing.

I ran in a 4x100m relay, which suited me just fine. Another ALT competed in the 400m and 4x400m relay, while one more of us competed in the long jump and triple jump.

We didn't set any records, but we had a pretty good showing (note to self: get track spikes). I'm looking forward to next year's event-- we're going to get some training done in the meantime.
