Title : Round De Campus Relay

At Republic Polytecnic (my poly) today took place the Round De Campus Relay. I formed a team consistig of my classmates. A team of 2 guys, 2 gals. We took part in the inter-class category. It was a tough one. A run of 1.5km each and passing on the baton, I'm not sure bout the timing of the rest but mine was 5 minutes 3 seconds and I overtook 4 facilitators and 3 students who were way ahead of me and maintained all the way with a final sprint to pass on the baton.

Been a long time since i runned long distances, enjoying the competition of endurance between the fittest and only the best. The last time I ran was like a year ago while in secondary school taking my NAPFA. 2.4km around Bukit Timah Hill which includes uphills and downhills with a best timing of 9 minutes. Miss those good old days of glory of always being second fastest in the class with my best friend in the top spot with a timing of half-a-minute faster than me always and how we'd always end up in the top 10 out of the whole school in the school's annual cross-country meet. Love long distance running, what can I say.

Back to the event, there was a free flow of canned drinks and a buffet-spread of fruits and only fruits! LoL??? Haha. Think we ended up in 6th or 7th place as we overtook more than half of those competing but there were only trophies and prizes for the top 5 teams, too bad. As for the open category whereby all Polytechnics and ITEs were invited to join, an ITE team were the champions. Need to rest now. Super-shag!!! Looking forward to the next run... ^_^
