I was mulling over whether to run the school annual cross country at MacRitchie for a week. Cos I just recovered from a really bad cough. But the X-ray showed my lungs were normal, and I felt quite good today, so I decided to run!
I was following Alvin for the most part of the race, but maybe it's cos I just recovered, so he eventually went quite far ahead. Next year, Alvin! I'm gonna train hard this year!
4.8 km in 22-24 minutes! (I forgot to stop my watch's timer, and when I finally remembered it was at 24+ minutes.) Not bad... 115 position (out of around 400?) for guys competitive race(including year twos). If I ran the mass run though, I would've got under 20th position, and got a trophy. Oh well.
But I feel now, after the run. Or maybe it's the effects of the Red Bull we (us four class reps for guys competitive race) drank before the race. Lol. Red Bull gives you wings!
Anyway, for some reason the four of us ended up together on the way to the bus stop. We decided to take a bus (852) in the other direction for two stops, then cross over to take the bus back, to beat the crowd that was already amassing at the bus stop opposite MacRitchie. Smart right? Nope. It turned out that there was NO bus stop opposite. Well, techinically there was, but for some reason that bus stop didn't serve the bus we wanted to take. So weird! So we walked for quite a while, passing Shunfu Rd (haha), and then passing RJC (grr), before reaching where we thought we'd ought to be.
We sort of lost our sense of direction... While we were crossing the overhead bridge, I spotted many people from our school coming towards us, meaning that we were actually supposed be wait at the bus stop on the side we came from! Aargh. Four "street-idiots".
Took 855 home. The rest had to change bus. When we passed the MacRitchie bus stop, there weren't many people already. Looks like our plan backfired, haha.
Ran 4.8km... but I don't really feel that tired now. Red Bull? Gonna do some work, then sleep early. Need to catch up on my work and also on my sleep....
