see my updated profile :D
ytd we had our 4 by 400m relay.
its like chris was blaming mrtan for getting us on that red pool.
haha
i oso downa to go there/.
its uber pressurizing to just wait behind the line for the gun to go.
then you run.
20 mins before our race start, we had to report. sokaren hb2 chris and i grabbed our shoe bags and made our way to the call room which was a TENT.-.-
they shud name it call tent.
anyway. we were in heat 2 same heat as sportssch.
sian. its always them being champion.
its like everysch in sg really stand no chance, sit oso cannot.
anyway, we sat on the ground and put on our spikes which watching the first heat.
when i put on my spikes. i felt like a runner.
like the passion started burning and i realised the reason i was in athletics.
it was some cca i nv dreamed of joining. but there i was.
no, not some noob who was running for god knows what reason, but because she wants to run , no matter how much she says she doesnt.
the last time i touched my blue spikes was like, slightly less than a year ago, during my 800m finals.
hurray to me! i was 16th for 800m c girls inSINGAPORE OKAY! cos i was last in my finals/
since then, ive been telling my self that i dont wanna get 16 anymore.
i wanna be better than i can be.
cross the boudary above my limits.
and i was at the red pool again. doing a 400m relay.
frankly, i didnt have much butterflies in my stomache.
not because the butterflies took leave but becos i hadnt been training for track and i dont expect much from myself.
heat two was a bout to start and the noob hb2 was first runner, i was second.
then chris then karen.
hb2 made a really good start. she did a 68 which was phreaking pro. she nv train track for like bloody long la. if she train, 64!
haha anyway the gun when off, and as baby1 saw her fellow baby2 bursting through the air.
she told herself that she wouldnt disappoint baby2, as well as herself.
on the home stretch, baby1 saw baby2 flying towards her. and baby one got on her feet.
she saw babytwo's noob face and almost wanted to laff. but she did not. she receives the baton and she runs off, trying to catch up with the person infront of her.
the first curve was easy for her but when she got on the the first straight route, she saw a girl clad in white jersey running super hiongly infront.
she tried to keep up, but the person just gave her no chance. at the second curve(last curve), which was usually babyone's forte, babyone crawled liek the fastest baby on earth. sorrry i meant run. on the home stretch, she was reminded of her snail-like pace during her finals last year and told her self that she wouldnt let that happen ever again. so she piaed towards chrispoo, who almost poo-ed on the red pool. jkjk. she passes the baton smoothly. and scrambled out of the red pool/ it was over. for her.
then baby one remembered what ahso told her; "just run your best. run until your hand and legs go numb at the home stretch. that means you are trying your best"
then babyone knew she didnt run her best because she didnt feel any numbness during the homestretch/ no pain, no lacticity.
but it was too late.
so babyone just smiled to herself and everyone around her.
she wasnt really disappointed.
she just felt guilty that she didnt run her best when she could have done it.
6th in our heats. hah.
she just loves wearing her spikes now.
i cant wait for track.
im gonna have a ball of a time with 11 chiobus, pandan papa, my nabeh blue spikes, myself, and the 800m/1500m finals! :D

its the passion that pumps me up with excitement everytime i put on my running shoes!

to all who ran and loved their time at the red pool, you are so cool! although these few days the temp. wah hothothot!
sexy weather! wooooo
