SAA Schools Relay 2007
I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity an obligation; every possession, a duty.
Chances dun come by easily. We make our fortunes, and we call them fate. 3 months of training went down to drain today.
Victory belongs to the most persevering. Obviously according to my performance today, a record breaker 2.39min, a imba 9 secs slow then my prelims compiled with a high fever yesterday.
I know there is something wrong, in the case i blackout while standing at attention during wednesday Salt center opening, falling out the whole training for friday, having stomachace for the past 4 days with no reasons, feel like dying, out of breath while only run 1km on saturday.
Of course sickness is not an excuse, the lack of determination to close the gap, inability to maintain my pace caused my downfall.
1st runner weeteck, 2nd runner me, 3rd runner junying, last runner daryl
As wad Mr Tok said, i have to maintain my pace, and try to close up the gaps, for a chance to get a commendable results today. Sadly, i failed. Instead of closing gaps, i am widening gaps, and tio overtake by 2 runners. In the end, towards the end, we get lapped.... Sports Sch, Cat High, St Joseph, ACS, imba la... Big sized, muscular, and most importantly sec4s... We are the only school who is a fully sec 3 team.
If you aren't going all the way, why go at all? I hardly sprint in the race, feeling tat i got restrained by sth. tat i can't even describe myself. People from HCI shouting "HwaChong QIE!" forcefully, result? i get QIE...
Sorry everyone, we get a 9th place out of 10 teams. "10.11min" Our timing is even slower than our C divs. If you can't accept losing, you can't win. I will train hard, i know there are a lot of people disappointed, We can't change the fact that we lose badly, but i will strive to change the results in the future.
Just don't give up trying to do what I really want to do. Where there is inspiration, I don't think I can go wrong. My great concern is not whether I have failed, but whether I am content with my failure.
