Uni Games

The 2010 University Games are being held in Perth this year so Janelle thought it would be a good opportunity to compete. Yesterday we travelled to Perth to watch her run in the 1500m. Before we went to the track we called in at Trinity to drop off some stuff and be patients to her new "toy" to test our reflexes...

After registering and a warm up all the girls gathered to be put into heats. After the man had called out all the names and given them lane numbers, Janelle and 4 other girls were not called so after a chat they were put in the 2nd heat to make it a large heat with 14 runners...

She ran a great race against girls from all over Australia and was very happy with her time of 4min 51.63. She ended up being the 6th fastest out of the 22 runners and qualified for the final...

As she was representing UWA she finally got one of the little running uniforms she has eyed off for a few years (along with another pair of shorts, t-shirt and jacket)...

Today she ran in the final of the 1500m and came 9th with a new PB time of 4min 49.85. She was really pleased with the result as it is only the start of the season. She has also got the 800m and some relays to compete in.

It is also ball season and on Saturday night Janelle got all frocked up for the annual Medicine Ball...
