X-Country [& Start of Beijing o8 Olympics]
Though this day is an Auspicious day of 08/08/08, it's much of a dissapointing one to me.
It's the running bit i'm upset with... Not cos that i didnt get any medal. -.-
Actually, both are as bad.
In, Sec 1, i kept training hard to earn myself a good position[1
st] in class for running and yearn to get a medal during Cross Country.
In the end, i didnt get into any Top placing in the X-C.
Of course i was sad then, like all my efforts hadnt done much accomplishment.
[Weekly running 4.2 KM] =
[Weekly running 4.2 KM] LOL?
I thought positively that i've still got chances in Sec 2.
Now In Sec 2, I hadnt much training towards the date for X-C.
Well, once again, i didnt get into Top's List.
Can i say that it's cos that i ran too much when days are nearing to XC?
I did ran on last Sat, this Tues with 3 1E5 dudes and again in PE on Wed.
Or can these be just an excuse?
I didnt know i can so easily tire-out my muscles...
Maybe i shouldnt had ran so fast in PE then.
I indeed felt some pain when i started running.
I persisted though.
Towards half of the Track, i'm already straining my leg muscles to go on. But my breath was still fine.
Thanks to the fact, i had to stop for once and just that few seconds counts.
One of my SJAB cheered for me when i'm near to the 'White House'.
I ran faster.
Approaching to the finishing point, i use in all my str and might, sprinting and overtaking alot of ppl who're infront of me.
When i completed, Nobody came to ask for my name. [Nor did i receive any bottled drinks.]
It's kinda
moronic and
jackass to give out the drinks before the finishing line. =\
My breath was still alright then, i didnt even needa jog on-the-spot to slow down my heart-rate. It's just my legs which is tired.
One of the Sec 1 dude i jogged together with, in Tues got passed me as i was in the middle. I just couldnt get my steps any wider.
I was ashamed of myself to have lost to a Sec 1 and more of tiring enough, but still have to waste my time for freakin' singing of National day songs.
So much of the training, i dont even dare to think anymore that i would have any chances in Sec 3. zZz
//Anyways,
Congratulations to my new friends, Jasmine and Yew Ron!
I'm especially proud of ya, Jaz! You were fast! =D
Keep the stamina up!
And to the Sec 1 dude, i promise myself that i shall put up a better match as we get into Upper Sec. ;)
