DECATHLON: 1600M MILE

Welcome to the Decathlon tournament of the third Panem Olympic Games! The track and field complex is located within the Olympic Arena, with stands for spectators traveling from Districts One, Two, Four, and the Capitol to watch the competitors. Television cameras are set up around as well, to broadcast the event to anyone staying home as well as to the other districts who aren't as lucky and competent as you all! Please be sure you stretch and warm up with your coaches before you're called to the starting block, and remember, make your district proud!

The execution of this event is simple. Feel free to roleplay your character on the starting blocks and running, and then paste the code [*dice=12000+27000] without the asterisks into your post and roll, as you would with a Hunger Games die. This will result in a five-digit number that will correspond to a time, which is read with a decimal point separating the first three and the last two digits (e.g. 27000 is read as 270.00 seconds) This will be converted to minutes.

The competitor with the lowest time wins this event. Times for this event will be continually updated on this thread; however, the overall decathlon standings will be updated on a separate thread.

After you have rolled, feel free to edit your post with your character's reaction to each throw if you so desire, but please keep it to one post rather than multiple.

There is NO POSTING ORDER; you may post your throws whenever you please. Keep in mind that this event must be wrapped up by the end of the Olympics Day.

n e v a h

Another day and another event in the decathlon to utterly fail at... After yesterday’s performances however, Nevah’s hope of actually getting somewhere is picking up. In the decathlon, she had somehow gotten second place, just being beaten from first and the same thing happened in the hurdles. Thankfully on both occasions, Enzo was not the name sitting in first place. Slowly the decathlon was becoming a battle of the Krearns amongst the two cousins, rather than having their hearts set on obtaining a medal in the event. Nevah was unable to redeem herself in the stand alone javelin event,only being able to come fourth place.

Getting herself prepared at the starting line, another running event laid out in front of her, she was looking forwards too the throwing event soon after. Waking up her muscles, Nevah sends a smirk into Enzo’s direction. ”Get ready to get beaten…again.” She says, the smirk still curled up on her face. Gritting her teeth, she waits for the signal to go, all hopes on that gold medal still somewhat being on the horizon.

LUXA

Running, again.

Perhaps when my parents signed me up for this, they didn't realise that a large majority of the events were things I was mediocre at. Sprinting especially; I haven't tried my luck at long distance in a long time but my hopes are lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut. Great expectations lead to failure--that's all I've learnt.

I line up on the starting line, glancing across to glare at my competition. They're such fierce competitors, and slowly my eyes meeting with my feet and I'm reminded that so am I.

The shot put went well; I was a boss, but I know better than to expect two miracles in one day.

It is running, after all, and running is my enemy.

ENZO KREARNS

"Says"

Running was something Enzo truly hated more than any of the events before. It was something he didn't know how to do well. Speed and strategy were the key aspects of it. Everett had been giving him tips all night long on things he needed to do in order to beat at least Nevah in the competitions. Long Distance was something he was more comfortable with than the sprints where he was easily taken down by most of the competitors. As he prepares himself in the starting line, all he can think of is the brother that was watching him from the crowd, eating some sort of food they sell at the games, excitedly waiting for Enzo to blow everyone out of the race, but that wasn't Enzo. Enzo was a failure when it came to running, Everett knew it and so did Nevah from what he could tell.

Her voice is as vicious as it sounds to his ears. ”Get ready to get beaten…again.” The smirk on her face widens in anticipation of defeating him in yet another event, but this wasn't going to happen. Not again. Enzo Krearns was going to win one race, or humiliate himself trying. This was his race, no one else's. Nemo was watching up in the crowd. As was many others who wanted to see him do well. There were fans of them all. All he had to do was focus on the race and think. Thinking of strategy on how to win. This would be his only chance of winning. As soon as the sound of the gun hits his ears. He runs for the people who needed him to win for their own sake. He runs for the pride in wanting to beat Nevah. Enzo Krearns was running with a plan.

Oblivion Reigns
Eighteen| Female | District One

You turned away when I looked you in the eye,
And hesitated when I asked if you were alright,
Seems like you're fighting for you life,
But why? oh why?

What started out as a terrible performance in the decathlon, has slowly turned better, and it's making me happier. I'm sure it had to do with the nervousness of the first day. Being in a different district and all, yet I've kept going. I've never given up no matter what I feel my parents and sister are doing. If they want to continue putting me down, and making fun of me for not being the person they wanted me to be, then I'll let them. During the duration of the Olympics I have learned many things. I don't need them to survive. I'm my own person. I'm better than they've ever given me credit for, and I have proven that. Winning a gold in shot put was a dream come true.

But I still have more to do.

1600m is a long distance run. Four laps around the track. It seems almost impossible, but I know I can do it. Nothing is impossible. Can't never could do nothing, and I'm here to show myself that I am stronger than I've ever given myself credit for.

As I take my place at the starting line, my eyes bounce from person to person trying to remember who I need to watch out for, but I know the only person I need to focus on is myself.

"Take your marks."

My heart claws at my ribs begging for an escape.

"Set."

I inhale the largest breath I can allowing every bit of it to fill my lungs.

Bang.

As I exhale, I run remembering to pace myself because 1600m isn't a run I want to sprint.

♚CIRQUE ISOSCELES♚

From the moment the buzzer released them from the starting blocks, Cirque knew this wasn't going to be her event. She came off the block with a slight twist to her ankle. It not only pained her the entirety of the race, it wrecked her rhythm. She lingered near the back of the pack, fighting it out with Enzo Krearns for last. In the final stretch she found the mental space to set aside the pain. It was not easy; there was a weight to it, a redness to her ankle that she feared. But she did it.

And finished slightly ahead of her competitor.

She smirked at him while she blotted her face with a towel. Small victories, she reminded herself.

Yusei Rhee
Eighteen | Male | District One

This run isn't one to take lightly. It's nearing the end, and I have to do well if I want to place. I know that coming in fourth would only crush the hopes and dreams I've gathered during the Olympics. Winning doesn't matter, but I do have dreams, and I do have my hopes. I guess one could say that I'm torn. I came here to make my family proud. Not to win, but at the same time, I want to win. I want a medal hanging around my neck. I shake my head pushing every thought away as I take my place at the starting line. Four laps around this track is a lot, but I can only give my best, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. The gun fires, and I'm running. Pacing myself. Because I have no desire to tire out on the first lap.
