Connor's Final Washimiyasai!
Hi, Connor here!
On The 4th of June last Thursday my third and last Taikusai was held at the Washimiya Grounds!
Unfortunately for me two days before the carnival I was in an awkward challenge during training and picked up an injury which ruled me out of events meaning I was there to support.
The weather during the day was quite nice and with the strong breeze flowing through it didn't get too hot and was quite comfortable. The weather was definitely far better than the Washimiyasai of yesteryear!
All in all it was a really enjoyable day and for the athletes it was a rare chance to get away from the usual competitive atmosphere of their teams and just enjoy a day of fun activities. It was also a rare chance for the athletes to socialise with a lot of the other students and make new connections which can't usually be made due to our tough schedules.
