Mulan's athletics

 Yesterday, Mulan's athletics team training restarted.

This is the Auckland team for the New Zealand Interprovincials (IP) competition, that was on, then off, then on, then off, then on-ish.

Huh??

So, the Interprovincial competition was supposed to be held over Easter, but Covid happened.  We heard it might be postponed until October, but some provinces pulled out and the competition was cancelled.

Finally, it's been decided that a similar-but-different competition will be held over the first weekend of October.  Not all provinces will attend, but many will (mostly North Island, I hear).  Auckland is involved, and Mulan is part of the Auckland team.

So, team training is back on, and Mulan had an excellent sprint session yesterday.

Mulan has decided that she wants to focus on athletics this coming season (more precisely, it's now her number two activity behind ballet).  She wants to prepare well and do the best she can in October, and then the next aim is to be selected again for the 2021 Interprovincials next Easter.
