Therefore, for my CAS experience, I opted for cycling as an activity in which I went to Dumas every Saturday for the month of July. Out of four Saturdays, I cycled 34 km on three, and on the last Saturday I took up a new challenge; to cycle 52 km at a stretch. It was a very fun experience where I realized my potential which made me more self- confident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The learning outcomes which have been achieved are LO1, LO2, and LO4. These learning outcomes have helped me evaluate myself about my strengths and weaknesses. I realized that knowing your weaknesses could be very beneficial as you get an idea about the efforts that are required to overcome that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LO1<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the course of the one-month exercise, I tried to increase my speed by learning how to draft. It was a challenging task particularly for me because drafting is a technique that needs a lot of concentration if you don&#8217;t want to get hurt. Fortunately, by the end of the month of July, I was quite confident about my drafting skills. It helped me improve my concentration skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I observed while performing the task that I got tired very quickly. My lack of endurance was my weakness. I could overcome that weakness by making an effort to try harder and work beyond my limitations. It has benefited me as my endurance has improved\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LO2\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most difficult challenge that I faced was during the 52 km ride. We had to bike up a hill and against the wind. I felt extremely exhausted because I had never done anything similar to it. I completed 52 km by not giving up. It is very important to undertake new challenges because it helps us overcome our fears and become more self-confident.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LO4<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to stay committed to any task which you perform. For me, staying focused has been difficult and additionally having to wake up at five-thirty in the morning seems impossible to me. However,\u00c2\u00a0 this time I had made up my mind to complete this task. fortunately, I did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1451\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2021.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot-2020-01-09-at-9.14.18-AM-2-295x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"295\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2021.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot-2020-01-09-at-9.14.18-AM-2-295x300.png 295w, https:\/\/classof2021.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot-2020-01-09-at-9.14.18-AM-2.png 326w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1452\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2021.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot-2020-01-09-at-9.13.53-AM-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"257\" height=\"254\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1459\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2021.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2020-01-08-1-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2021.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2020-01-08-1-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/classof2021.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2020-01-08-1-768x1102.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2021.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2020-01-08-1-714x1024.jpg 714w, https:\/\/classof2021.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2020-01-08-1.jpg 1883w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cycling has been an activity that I always used to enjoy doing, especially in the rainy season.
