School will officially start in few hours time. My feeling?? Great that it finally started otherwise I will be spending yet another few week rotting in bed for 14hours minimum. Yup, 14hours minimum, not only it ended my sleeping spree but also my crazy spending of money for this week. Each time I go out, I return home with two big holes in my pocket.
But the worst part is to get up tomorrow in the early morning and spend the rest of the day staring at some strangers in class. Hmmm. Should I listen to my mother and not talk to stranger?? HAHA
Bleahz how am I gonna go school tomorrow with that stupid hair cut too?? damm

I was actually hoping to blog with joy and happiness today but things don’t seem to go according to plan. When Sir Jeffery was asking the boys how they feel after the race, the two words just simply refresh in my mind, disappointed and ashamed.
The first time I took part in this AQ competition, I was the reason my team dropped out of the race or at least at that point of time, I was putting the blame on the stupid cramp that constantly disrupt my hunger for victory. At that point of time, I was only like sec 2 or 3 which is why I easily convinced myself that I am not ready for such competition. But few years later, I got the sudden urge to join the competition with the thought that I am better than who I was few years back.
I recongise the major factor that disrupted the race was CRAMP and I did all sort of preparation for it. Filling up my water bag with isotonic drinks and gets the best energy food within my budget. I convince myself that cramp won’t be a problem this time. And to further improve on my “fool proof” plan, I went online to search for ways of preventing cramps and treatment for it.
Now I am with one of the best team form by 39th coy and I was ready to conquer the competition. In the team of 4, my three teammates were all experience racer and all of them are fit to the max! Though I know I am the weakness link in the team, I promise myself that I will give my best in the competition. And with all the preventive measure taken, it shouldn’t be a problem to go through the race.
However, things don’t seem to go as smoothly as I thought, the first 2hours of the race was relatively easy and I was able to keep up with my team. But as we further approached to the biking part. I knew something was wrong and sure enough, the cramp kick in at one of the junction point.
As soon as the cramp subsided, I carried on with the race with more caution of my leg condition and the cycling part when smoothly but SLOW!! That particular part was an excellent chance to overtake many teams but because of ME, my team had to slow down. The cramp persisted throughout the race and every time I try to pick up the pace, the muscle tighten and send me the warning “don’t try to be funny”.
At the repelling area where both Han Xiang and David when ahead to carry out the activity. I was sitting by the side, RESTING!! How can I rest when my teammates are doing all the stuff for me? I tried to figure out various ways to get rid of the cramp but it still failed until one of the marshals came and help me out. The carried out the “FAST AND FURIOUS” way of treatment and it did help also immediately (although the process was really “enjoyable”)
It was only then I ask a question that enlightens me. I ask him, how to get rid of the cramp permanently so I can carry on my race. His answer is easy yet it gave me many things to think throughout the day, he said, haha you can’t do anything now, your leg is not “season” enough. You comfirm never exercise regularly right?? Now that’s the “reward” you will get. Doesn’t that makes lots of sense?? It isn’t completely about my preparation of my equipment but also the preparation of MYSELF. I was so complete engross on the materialistic factors that I totally neglected the most important thing—the racer himself.
The last time I did some exercising was 2 weeks after my school holidays and till then, I had not been involve in any form of serious exercise. I should have realized it in the starting of the race where my stamina was completely heaven and earth apart compared to last time. So I concluded that the problem is not with the cramp but with the person having the cramp, ME.
It is also because of ME, I let down my whole team AGAIN, and it is also because of ME, 39th coy fail to achieve any gold honour this year. It is also because of ME, I created so much unhappiness in the company today.
When sir Jeffery was saying, don’t be disappointed, the important thing is not the destination but the journey. As long as you have given your best and learn from the mistake, it is already good enough. But to me, I had already given the best I have got but the best I have wasn’t good enough for the best team in 39th coy. I am utterly disappointed and ashamed of myself for becoming the joke of the day, and bring so much unhappiness and frustration in the team today. If my place was given to somebody else in the company, it would have been a happy ending.
Enough of the whining for now, it is time I learn a little from all the stupid mistake I had made and do something about it. Anybody keen to go for a run with me every Saturday??
If any of the team members in group 907 is reading this, I am sincerely sorry for what happen today.
