'Finishing a Track season' - extracurricular activities or work experience

Finishing a Track season was a goal set by myself during my Junior year in highschool. The idea of running just to compete with others was one I didn't understand till I was put into that position. It wasn't to see who ran faster, but to see who was willing to push their limits to reach a personal goal. Practice was a daily routine of 400m dashes, 200m dashes, and an ab-workout. Usually during the week would be a meet where I had the opportunity to test myself. The only goal I had for that season was to finish it, I reached that goal and can now set higher goals for myself.

The idea of running just to compete with others was one I didn't understand. Until I was put into that position.
it is very rushed, like it wasnt something you elaborated on. tell more about how you felt during the time, or more of why it was your goal
