Okay, so much stuff to say.firstly, this came as a MAJOR BIG SHOCK. On Wednesday, I received an SMS from Ying Yi saying that I qualified for the 80m finals! I was like, Oh my goodness and praise the Lord. The entire Malay lesson, Yi Han and I were like, hyper. Then we rushed down to see the results board. Last qualifier. 8 out of 8th qualifiers. Timing was 12.19 seconds. That's my P.B! (Personal Best) Normally during trainings last year I would clock like, 12.2 seconds flat. Only Purveen and Hei Mern ever clocked 12.1 seconds before. Me? Nope.I didn't expect to qualify. I mean, after the whole tripping incident. Yeah. I don't know how I did it, but all I know is that it was only possible with God. Thank you Lord(: Oh, and FYI: Magdalene clocked like, 10.89 seconds. SUPER UBER FAST!!!And now, guess what. The finals are over. Yepp. Ended today. just only. Ran at 3.30 pm. Woah. Even the non-trackers wore spikes. Good thing I wore mine, if not I might have felt intimidated. Ready, set, GO. Those were the words that kicked start the race. Hmm... my start went pretty well, I guess. At the beginning, everybody was like, the same speeed. Then out of the blue this girl girl started breaking off from the rest of us, leading the other 7 runners, including me. Yup. Magdalene. She's a ... born runner. An absolute naturalist. Anyway, I started breaking off from some people too. And you know what? I didn't trip. Yay! But I really don't know what my position was. Or my timings. I know I ran my best. Hopefully a new P.B... But the good thing is, I finally know what I'm running for. I'm running for passion. Passion for running. That's what keeps me going.Okay. The relay was next. 8x 50m. Wow. A lotof people. The most i've run was 6x80m. 8 people. We needed good team spirit. And be united. Okay, 50m seems short but, when you run, it might not seem that short. And... go! The first runners start the race. Boss manages the curves well, and hands the baton to Ying Yi. Woah. Power. She chased the girl in front of her. Then Belle. Whee~ Great run. I could see that her steps were swift. Then Yu Wei. She kept on going, just didn't stp and gave it her all. Beautiful. Yi Han was next. Caught up with i don't know, say 2 people? Marvellous. Ahh. the Shanice. That small figure practically caught everyone's sight. Catched up. Then came Wei Jin. The Yupi girl. Perhaps sugar rush or adrenaline rush? She ran with her life. And I could feel her footsteps on the track, getting closer and closer. I focused on the blue markings, waited for her command. "Sprint!" I ran. With all my life. "Up!" Oh my goodness. For a moment, I was scared. I couldn't feel the baton. Was she too far away? I was afraid. But at that moment, the baton touched my palm and my spirit burst out from the veil of fright and I sprinted with all my might to end the race. the last 50m. At that point, I was leading. I didn't look back, I didn't hear the cheers. I looked at the finishing line, took a deep breath. I ran like the wind, past the finishing line. Lovely. At that point, I told myself that I had to concentrate. Once I grabbed the baton, there was no turning back.Epilouge
The end. The race is over. First in our heats. Beautiful. We stand a good chance of qualifying to the finals. Because there's only 2 heats(: 20 May's the big day. We mustn't be complacent. And you know what? Our passing worked. Good passing = Good timing. That's one of the reasons why we beat the other teams. 103 relay-ers rock. We rocked the track down. Totally awesome-ism :D That's what we are. The definition of perfection. GO 103(:
Judith's happy. She's super uber happy(: She's found the meaning of running. Passion. That's what it is.
Passion
That's what keeps me striding. Taking bigger steps. 1 step closer to the finishing line, 100 steps closer to joy.
