When I woke up I was neatly tucked in my bed. I got up and walked to breakfast to find everyone finishing up. I quickly scarfed down some eggs and oatmeal. I washed it down with some sweet green liquid and left.
We rode down to the training center. Everyone was getting lined up and we took our spot. When everyone was here they told us we would be taking our mandatory gauntlet today. Uh oh this would be bad. They called everyone up one by one. Finally it was my turn. I hoped onto the first foam platform. All the other platforms were going up and down, side to side, and every other which way. I jumped onto the one I front of me going up and down, next I went for one going side to side. My feet missed it but I grabbed with my arms. I pulled my self up it took strength to get my foot up. I got my second foot up and crouched down. I then tried to jump to the up and down and I landed on my stomach. I then jumped off it to a swinging red post. I had my stomach wrapped around it. I thought I was gonna be sick. I was swinging in circles then jumped off over a platform. I jumped on to 3 more ups and downs then I was on solid ground.
I was so dizzy I fell to the ground. Everything was swirling. My head tilted to the side and I threw up. I blacked out and woke up an hour later in a white bed. The doctor instructed me to go back to training and put an ice pack on my head.
I was still a little dizzy, so I went to the fishing station. All that was there was a pile of wood and sticks and some string. I took two sticks and smeared some tree sap in between them. I them smeared a leaf in tree sap and wrapped it around the stick. I dipped another side of the stick in tree sap and added another stick. I wrapped it all in tree sap leaves. I was about to add the string but it fell apart into a sticky mess. I wiped my hands on leaves and left.
I went to the fire making station where I was able to start a small fire but only with the use of matches.I was less dizzy so I went to the knife throwing station where I continued my talent. Then I left and went to the wood collecting stations. I picked up little sticks and put them in a bag. Then came time to get the big wood and I tried and tried, but I could not make more then I one inch slice into the tree. I put my sticks in the bin and left.
I went to the ropes course. It looked a lot like a jungle gym. I grabbed onto the first rope and swung off the platform. I jumped for the second rope and just barely grabbed it. My legs swung in the foam cube pit below. I got a hold of the rope better and tried to jump on to the next platform but missed. I then got out of the foam cube pit and looked around.
I decided to eat my lunch and scout out other tributes. I saw Troy and went over to say hi. He was in the dagger station with dummies. I said, "Hi," and he turned around shocked and stabbed me by accident. I felt a piercing shock of pain. I fell to the ground when he had only just realized his mistake as I screamed. He screamed for help and took off his shirt. He compressed the wound. I blacked out.
