the annual college road race is finally over!

woke up early and made my way to pasir ris park to prepare for the race. i must say i was pretty nervous about running that long distance as a competitor as i've never really done it before. but there i was, warming up for the 4.3 km run, part of MJTKD's one and only team. before the competition, we were already expecting the canoing team to dominate.. and we were right.

the horn blared and it was go-go time! i stayed behind the pack and according to what my classmates told me, i was literally walking for a few seconds while everyone chiong-ed forward. XD. o well, i tried my best to maintain a steady pace with ezra who i realised was also running. so we just jogged while most of the pack sprinted. there were a few other people behind us joking around, which was quite a stress reliever.

and the run was great, the scenery was a good change from the usual run around the school's track or perimeter. the sea air was refreshing and i jogged on longer than i expected. the only pauses i took were up to only 1-10 seconds, which is much better compared to the times i ran in school. thanks to ezra who kept me going throughout the race.

and so we ran, and overtook a handful of people who were suffering from the effects who shouldn't have dashed so crazily at the start from the race. and so we ran and ran and ran. what more can i say? it was a good run. :)

after the competitive run, i joined my class for the house mascot "run". Which wasn't really a run after running the 4.3km. It was more of a walk-a-thon, with frequent pauses to let the rest of the Atlas house take over. and i managed to get a bug hanging from a web into my mouth. and out of it. bah. XD.

anyway, after the house mascot "run", we slacked around waiting for the prize presentation to the winners of the various categories. and not to my surprise, the canoing male team got 1st, 2nd AND 3rd. Lol. But what was to my surprise was the results of overall house champion:-

atlast, ATLAS won!

and about time too. :D

good work to all TKD runners. woo.

sigh (:
