Swimming 100M Backstroke

SWIMMING: 100M Backstroke

[/center]

Welcome to the 100m Backstroke tournament of the very first Panem Olympic Games! The swimming pool is located within the aquatics center, 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 pool for your race, and remember, make your district proud!

The execution of this event is simple. Feel free to roleplay your character getting ready to begin the race, and then paste the code [*dice=1200+6200] without the asterisks into your post and roll, as you would with a Hunger Games die. This will result in a four-digit number that will correspond to a time, which is read with a decimal point separating the first two and the last two digits (e.g. 5000 is read as 50.00 seconds)

The competitor with the lowest time wins this event. Times for this event will be continually updated on this thread.

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

There is NO POSTING ORDER; you may post your shots whenever you please. Keep in mind, though, that this is meant to move pretty fast, so we're not looking for exceedingly long posts.

Here is the roster for this event:

1) Serena Lund, D4 — 70.59s
2) Seaton Murphy, D4 — 73.97s
3) Quartz Stonewall, D4 — 63.49s
4) Rowan Duncan, D4 — 73.58s
5) Apex White, D1 — 72.87s
6) Aaron Slater, D4 — 64.74s
7) Titus Buttari, D4 — 63.63s
8) Avery Fiske, D4 — 65.40s

Let the games begin!

Out of all the swimming events he entered, backstroke was the one he felt he had he lowest chance of ever winning. He had tried a few times in the pool back home, but he had never managed to get a time under one minute and fifteen seconds, and even that was a rarity. The technique, the muscles used; everything about this type of race just baffled him, but he decided to sign up simply because he was the only D1 who was willing to go against the D4s.

District pride was essential. If he was ever going to get reaped, he wanted the whole of District One behind him, and if no one else was going to try and step up to these heralded swimmers, he damn sure had to try.
