11/7/07 - a day to remember.

it made my heartbeat faster than anything else. when i was standing before the starting line i felt my heart beating. the whole place was silent. all i heard was the fast beating of my heart. it also made my heart pound as i saw the other competitors cross the finishing line with the timing just a second slower than my timing.

my race was horrible. i was super nervous before the race and i tried to relieve the pressure i have on myself by trying to talk to myself about what mr khoo told me. when i as in the call room i felt calmer and relaxed. but everything got back when it was my heat's turn to start. well, i had a bad start and i think i was last to leave the starting line. next, i was boxed in after 300m and finially i got boxed out on the way to the last lap. it's horrible. i've never been boxed so many times before.the second was the worst. i just went into my pace when this idiot blocked my way. this guy was running on the second lane with two people beside him. for normal people, they would cut in on a curve and i wanted to overtake. hence, i moved up to him and he maintained his pace on lane 2. which person, in the right state of mind, would run on lane 2 on a curve when he can overtake!? so, i was stuck on the inner lane and i waited for that guy to overtake. when he didnt move, i had to slow down, cut out and accelerate again. he totally spoilt my rhythm.

redemption. the only thing i seek from myself. ending my four years in cchm track with an individual achievement.

thanks to everyone who cheered for me. you 'guys' were super loud hahaha. could hear your voices distinctively from opposite the track.
