cross-country today!!
wah nervous frm the start... had to keep hopping around to keep myself calm. did the usual track stuff, warm-up and stretches. then had to lead all the other guys in stretching... so malu lah, stand on the freakin seat, all of them look at u... haiz, nvm. then it was the start.
the frst stretch already could feel something wrong. my ankles like really sore, dunno whether is run wrongly or too much stress on them. newayz juz continued running. decided to pace soon long at frst cos he was 2nd last yr. thought he could last but by halfway he died out... then concentrated on crispin. some new j1 soccer guy. thought he also could last, but he died out. then ended up only left andrew in front of me. went round the lagoon, and entered the final stretch. or so i thought. decided to burst a bit, so sped up, until almost caught andrew, then realised still had 1k more to go. haiz... after dat felt dam tired and sian, but still kept on running and running. in the end couldnt catch andrew and lost to him by abt 10m... wah lao! if only i didnt judge the distance wrongly... newayz, timing was also sucky lah so quite disappointing overall. ended up second... no big trophy... haiz, nvm theres nats coming up. hope i fulfill my wishlist =D
special thx to those who encouraged me! =D really motivated me to continue to the end. was quite a wierd day lah, those i expected to be strong competitors didnt make it, and sumone i didnt know could run so fast beat me. life's wierd..
