We had the first physical training lesson that required us to put some mind-cum-body endurance to work.
We ran around the school, not in the school, around the neighbourhood which is around the school.
It was about 1km to 2km long, was kinda tiring, but fun.
Before the running started, we were doing "Iron-Man" warm-ups, which consisted of a series of warm-ups led by different teachers.
The first one was just stretches.
Second one was push ups and some exercise that uses your elbow to support your body off the ground (parrell to it) at push up position.
Then we to do some kinda lunges, followed up by some short sit-ups.
Finished off with star jumps.
Then we ran the run. Many of those who were in front, or those who sprinted the first part, stopped later on in the middle course of the route. I had an average start, was talking with my friends, while jogging at an average pace.
Then one of my friends couldnt take it, and I kept pacing at my average.
Half way through the route, at some up hill part, I over took Shawn (classmate)
and started to go a little faster.
Approaching the big grass field, before turning right and sprinting 250 metres to the school gate, I saw Joshua, who was at the front all the time. He was like, worn out, lol.
Gave him a pat on his back, and whizzed pass him. A little head, I heard footsteps, it was Joshua, he went ahead and sprinted, thinking that he can over shoot me and sprint for 200 metres. He was wrong, he stopped at the next 50 metres and started panting madly.
Then I sprinted, shiok man. My legs went numb, and I got the rhythm, and gaining speed quickly, I completed the journey and made it to the top few. Went up to the hall, caught some breath, and laid on the floor.
This year, I'm going to try for 10 minutes or faster when taking part in the 2.4km run. Think I can make it? Place those bets :)
