WELL DONE 1T31 and 2T31!!we went in
10th and
12th position respectively...
Well done
SIYUAN,
HUIXIN,
RYAN,
EDOUARD and
JAVISand those who cheered damn hard for us!!!
here's our line-up, first to sixth runner: siyuan, huixin, me, ryan, eddie and last runner javis. our strategy is to let the girls run first then the guys chiong all the way. it did work out quite well. for the first two runner, we seemed the last, CAUSE the girls are running first. and they do not know our power and how we bankai
i think my job is the toughest. even before i started running, those cheerleaders of 2t31 gave me enough pressure to minimise the gap. i have a
VERY clear path in front of me. i've got no one to pace nor taking over. determination is the key to success. i started to feel the stress on my legs when i reached the road outside school. that's only 100m away from starting point. but i kept my mental strenght strong, entering the school track and hearing our cheerleaders shouting out loud. upon reaching the final stretch of the track, javis push me on, reminding me to keep constant pace or wad. my mind couldn't think much at that time though.
there was this steps at the entrance and exit of the track. it was hard to climb up and down, given that the steps were really very small in length. i took two steps down for my first strike down then totally jumped down the steps.
uphill through the carpark. quite demanding. got a few odacers cheered me on and i raced to the top of it. reaching the thirsty elephant area, suddenly heard 'Go javis's class! Go ...' woots, inspiring man. and i pointed thumbs up to them. don't really know why i did that.
the stairs. omg the stairs up to tennis courts. my first step up. felt like diluted sulphuric acis pouring over. my second step, more concentrated H2SO4. dead after the first flock of stairs. then i looked up, damn it, another one. because of those odacers cheering me on and calling out my name(i like it this way: "GO Edmund!!") i tried thinking of showering in concentrated sodium hydroxide. stoned for a few seconds after climbing. don't know where to run next. the stupid road marshal didn't even point out where. 'oh turn left' ahh, saw megan the small bumble bee. continued running hard. thought of arriving at the slope down makes me wriggle...
as i appeared on the slope and within their sight from the pac there, i heard a call from the heaven. for the first time i heard my name being shouted so loudly. bet it must be marilene and siyuan. gravity just pull me down with every step i took. that kinda of feeling was weird. anyhow, turned left and finishing my final stretch of relay. ah, javis again. 'wider stride. comeon comeon. wider stride.' jinshi joined in the lecturing too. but it did help me a lot, alot. BANKAI>>> and i collapsed. throat damn dry. lied down and breathed real hard, as if that was the last amount of oxygen left on earth. people came comforting me and serving me drinks. haha
on javis way back on his final stretch, me and marc raced him to the finishing line, accompanied by jinshi. haha, javis said he saw jinshi running on his right first then i suddenly on the left to boost him up. he did overtook a guy!
once again, thanks and well done for all the great effort all of us had put in and our cheerleaders---marilene, marcus, chongmei and debra(don't know whether she can shout that loud) and siyuan, who had motivated us a lot for which we had this wonderful result.
