Adrenaline still pumping... Today played another match. Was a relay this time around, with a JC1 class. Seems that Pe teacher was quite satisfied with our tug-of-war yesterday and confident of us now. This time around though, I was not confident of winning. Same view held by the others of course just that I felt the same way too this time. Were to run five relays. - 4x100 (Boys) -4x100 (Girls) -4x400 (Boys) -4x400 (Girls) Lolx.. due to our class having only 5 guys, and Chee Koon didn't want to run, I ran lor. 4x100 was first. Seriously, I did not have an ounce of confidence at all. Firstly, I had never run in a relay before and so was not sure of what to do, how to pass the baton...etc.. Anyways, the whistle had to be blown and so I started running.
Before I started though, received two instructions from two separate pple: "Just try your best" to which I said "Okay"
Then, " Don't give face ar!" To which I also said "Okay" immediately. Then I wondered how I was going to achieve both?
Got off on a good start and just sprinted all the 100m and then passed the baton smoothly. The JC2's got a head start already! Even though it was just 100m sprint, I was still feeling breathless. So you can imagine just how long I've not run and how poor my stamina is. I sat down and took a short break before my 400m "sprint". Seriously, I did not know how I was going to sprint that distance and be able to be ahead of the JC1 competing with me. The best I had been able to do was take the first 200m at a jogging pace and cover the last 200m just letting momentum take over and sprinting all the way. How... Again I was the first runner. I started off with longer strides so as not to waste energy. It worked. Kept me in the lead. When I covered about 200m, my arms started feeling numb le. Sign that I was running out of energy. Nearing 300m, I was starting to lose my balance!! Lols.. lose my balance when running? Seriously, now that I think of it is kind of funny. I've never lost my balance when running. As a result, was slowing down a little on my last 100m back. Fighting really hard to keep my balance and continue at my pace as well. Was ahead of the JC1 boy all the way until I passed my baton to Alan, then fell behind by a little. However, was sure that the other guys wun have any problems closing that distance. Still 1.2km to go. At the moment I stopped running, I became fully aware of just how breathless I was. My arms and legs were aching and numb. Felt a little giddy too. So sat down and got butt cramps. Sit or stand oso cannot... sianz.. Went into the washroom and stayed there for a while. Started perspiring profusely and after a little while felt better and got outside again. JC2's had already won 4 out of 5 of the relays and were on the medley relay le. Won that with relative ease as well. Was really euphoric after that. Two wins straight in a row for 10S13... Jiayous 10S13, you can own A levels!!!
