It was such an amazing experience to participate in this section because I can absorb new information and new opinion from people

Biking and Running at Siem Reap

On the 2nd and 3rd of December 2017, I traveled to Siem Reap to joined a biking for 37 km and more excitingly, to participate in a half Marathon by running 10 km. The biking was on the 2nd of December and it was really amazing to bike through many obstacle like in the forest, on the sand, on the pebble, but unfortunately, on the last round my bike had a problem with a chain, which require me to adjust the chain back to its normal. This biking, I didn’t keep it as a competition, I just participated for fun and get ready for the running.

 

On the 3rd, which is on Sunday, I woke up at 3 AM to get to the main area for the Marathon. There are thousands of people that participated in the running include the 3 km, 10 km and 21 km. Before the run, I had an ultimate intention that my time for the running should be under 55 minutes. I started running at about 16 minutes later of the official time and my speed was super slow since the road is too small and I need to find the space for me to run. My first five kilometer is very slow, but my last five kilometers was pretty amazing. My running time was about 52 minutes, which I completed my goal and it was also a big improvement from two years ago.

We did pretty good for about 10 minutes because we have a lot more ball possession than the other team and we got many shooting attempt. I scored the second goal but then the referee gave a sign that it wasn’t goal.

Investigation: Does different type fertilizer make a different in Chinese Convolvulus nutrients?

For the first seven week of the sixth year of Liger, I did an investigation about does different type of fertilizer affect the nutrients in the morning glory. The first two weeks, I planted the Chinese Convolvulus by dividing the bed into two parts, which are for chemical fertilizer and compost because I can see the difference between the nutrients in the Chinese Convolvulus. The instruction for using the chemical fertilizer is mixing the fertilizer with 1.5 gallon of water and then stir the mixture together before spraying on the plant. The last week of my investigation, I did the experiment based on the four main nutrients, which are protein, lipid, starch and sugar. After growing the Chinese Convolvulus, I did an experiment and it came out that both chemical the sample Chinese Convolvulus contain lipid and sugar which is the same as the sample Chinese Convolvulus. According to this experiment, different type of chemical doesn’t change the main nutrients in the Chinese Convolvulus, but it might change something else.

One great thing to be part of this extension is to get in touch more with the juniors since I don’t have much time with them.
