Cross country 2006.

Ended up running competitive today due to of lack of participants; only 4 of us in total turned up for Buckley house. Ironically Mr.Soh, on selection day striked off the names of pple who had to run for the absentees and came in at top positions . Ie.) Marc Anthony, 4th/30.

The 4.8km was no joke. Started off running with ajmal for the first 2km... told him not to run fast at the start... he began to lose energy by the 1.6km mark.. anway.. seeing as he slowed down for me at many points in the run i slowed down and waited for him too when he decided to walk...

He later told me to go ahead
( Quite a relief. Not because he was a hindrance or anything but that my momentum was disrupted due to the run-walk pace, thus causing me to lose energy quicker )
Continued running til the last stretch.. i think roughly about 2km long.. Fucking hell it was like eternity... really had to push myself then... what made it worse was the fact that the track was covered in sand, so as you run you burn lots of precious energy just ripping your foot out of the sand.
Thankfully i made it and ran through the last stretch,half-sprinting to the finish line.. Here are the results.

Position : 17/30
Timing: Around 30 min.
Reward: Free pair of socks and water!

Quite happy with my position, considering the fact that i wasted alot of time and that i didnt train for this run whatsoever. Its a nice feeling when you finish something that was fucking tedious and look back on it... Still rmb my sec 2 run even now! Think i came in26/55+ or something like that then.

And so ends my seconday school cross country experience! ^_^
