Sri Pinang & Tenby International Annual Cross Country 2008..

how did i do?

i finished second in the senior boys category.. but i was a little disappointed.. i could have done better.. WAY better.. Tsu Sheng (sorry if i misspelled) finished first.. i kept within a few feet throughout the race and managed to overtake him at the beginning of the second lap.. i had a pretty comfortable lead and that's when things start to go wrong.. i decided to stop for 5 seconds to remove the knee guard i was wearing.. it was more pain to my legs than it is helping my knee.. Tsu Sheng is faster than me up hill so he closed the gap.. he overtook me on the way up and i lost sight of him.. down hill, i was the faster guy so i managed to catch up with him.. but it was too late, he finished 18 seconds before i did.. there was also a point when we were supposed to get the wristbands as our checkpoint markers.. the St. John people gave him the wristband and didnt prepare one for me when i was just behind him.. i ran past them saying i dont want it and they made me come back to take it.. i mean come on, there were at least 4 people there, so what's so hard asking another person to hold up the wristband so that i can run smoothly? anyway, what's done is done.. it was good competition..

the overall title was won by Green house.. i guess most of their members were running although very few had medals.. they were consistent.. i would have loved to hold the pewter overall trophy up high but it wasnt meant to be..

here are some of the pictures taken by Nicholas Lee with my camera..
