My arms looks like I’m flapping when I run … haha (400m race, Lane 5)
Yesterday was my competition, where the heats was held. And this coming Saturday, it will be the finals. I qualified for the 400m and 4x100m relays. I was hoping to run the 800m too but well someone ran instead. Oh well
My 400m race was a dud, in fact this year’s IVP 400m standard err was quite bad. A 54s timing can qualify you for the finals. Well I just hope for the finals I can tag along-side my roomie’s lane, trail him and get a PB along the way
Well during warming-up, someone actually took my spikes and running kit! Haha, imagine that. Well anyway I searched for it all around the stadium and when I found it, the stuff was taken by mistake. All was forgiven
I can truly say I’m the second oldest fella in the competition. Yes indeed. They all look so young, and here I am, an old pops. What I can’t beat in terms of youthful zestness, hey I can still trash some of the kids in running, heh.
The 4x100m relays I had, was a cock-up. I don’t know why but yesterday I got calf cramps. My first leg runner Fanlong did well to pass to Shyam, who passed to me and I just slowed down during take-off as I got cramps. Both legs. Well I took the baton ala 4x400m style, haha. For the clueless that’s horrendous passing
Anyway I ran with a kanasai cramp, running on the ball of my feet, that sure hurts. Good thing my last runner slowed down. We were 4th fastest qualifier despite of that. Ok lah, not bad. Among the relay group, we got an agenda. A secret agenda we must fulfill during the relays finals …
So I’ve got 400m, 4x100m and 4x400m final this coming Saturday. I can’t wait for it. Wanna watch more videos and ogle at photos
Good luck to the athletes, see ya this Saturday
