woah..today suddenly quite free..for once in the hols today feels like a holiday man.. so decided to read my captains LONG POST... and thought mayb for once i should follow him and really reflect on my running "career"
Have been running for 6 years now.. since p3 when we did catching for athletics training.. that was probably the first time i had a taste of what long distance running is like.. we had catching sessions for 1hr.. then sports day..the very first event i took part was in 4x100m..and the only reason y i was in the team was cuz of when holding trials..1 of the runner who was ahead of me..his shoe came off..so i from 5th became 4th and made it to the team..:P and from then on every year i was in the 4x100m team and every year we got 1st
Then came p4.. pretty much the same thing.. but then..in march.. i had my first nationals schools medal:D again from 4x100m.. silver in national school relays.. and the story was even nicer man.. in heats.. i was 3rd runner.. then when i got the baton.. my shoelace came off!!( i was using bata shoes..what to expect).. so i slowed like crazy and luckily my last runner chased from last to 5th.. but we were told that the fastest 3 will qualify and that the rest will remain to fight for last 4 spots.. so i thought we were out le for sure.. my teammates also think so.. so they started scolding me like shit.. then suddenly the announcer said " and the last school who qualified for the semis is JIEMIN primary". i was like. woah.. so pro? then came semis.. i had this reserve runner who was darn fierce.. he was like..stupid smart boy(notice the irony:P) studies smart only la..don come run la..i run for u.. i was hell of scared la..but still managed somehow to run the semis.. and we qualified for the finals w/o my shoelace coming out.. and just so happen the finals on the same day.. and the reserve was like..u tired le la..i run for u.. sure can win u now.. but luckily my teacher in charge let me run..and i got my first medal like that.. after the whole race..she treated us to chicken rice and watch the movie scorpion king starring the rock.. tks to you mdm( feeling so bad now that i cant rmb her name)
P5 was a better year and probably the best year in my running years.. we had a proper coach now..mr pandian.. and i didnt noe he was a record holder for 400m and 800m for national junior until now.. well he was quite a gd coach.. gave us intervals like 3x600m all out..which i did in 1min56-59 seconds.. and our rest was 10 min..compared to the 1 min i have now.. and then that year he signed me up for 400m and 800m..though the longest event in our sports day was 200m.. in heats i was like eh..why all of them so slow de.. so after 1st 100m i don follow le i just ran ahead..and thats the only time i didnt die.. in finals i kena owned by the yuwei in last 200m so i got second:D in 400m wasnt that lucky.. in finals was actually 4th last 10m somehow my legs dun wanna move so i practically went to a standstill and got 6th..
p6.. the year where i didnt noe if i wanted to go sports school or ri.. i had a impression of sports school as some pro school wif pro stuff..which is partly true just that they do not have gd studies..but yea i didnt really trained very hard..slacked till 1month b4 the race date and realised that i can only do as fast as p5..decided to hardcore train and finally improved abit..but not enough to get medal..sad year..
Sec1 yay finally in secondary school.. got my first big shock cuz i slacking throughout the whole december.. the first time i ran a 8km i did 43 min..and my first 4.5km race at swift is 26 min..haha.. a great shock man.. drastic deprovement from p6..but nonetheless i started to train..and i trained hard and very hard..but..i still did a very lousy 800m timing at nats track..haiz..all cuz i went 60sec for first lap...
and now i am finally in sec 2..though i have been in my primary school track and field team..i have nv have the opportunity to be in such a bonded team and really..i think it is an honour..no need to be in a big cca like uniform grps..as long as u have real gd friends and senior its gd enuf..
