Macritchie Competition

Schedule : 4.3 km run ( 19.44 )

Reflections : I felt sad after this run. My problem is i cannot start fast!! i'm scared that i'll burn out at the last part, so i try to conserve and only catch up at the later part! i did not try and run with the leaders. i wanted to conserve so badly! forest run was not- very - fast. the slope up was rather bad too, did not feel as comfortable as the last time i ran it. up the highway, i told myself i've to catch up! suddenly, some Mgs and Rv girls overtook me! i told myself i cannot afford to lose to them, so i tried to keep up with them. but, i could not catch up with 1 Mgs & another Rv girl. but, i was running with this 2 Rv girls, and i managed to stray away frm them after the downslope. then , i told myself i really had to sprint, so i caught up with this St nicks girl ( sonia ) . and last part, i sprinted very hard cause i heard Mr tay and i was afraid the rest would catch up.
Initially, i thought this run was okay because i did not give up when a whole bunch of ppl suddenly overtook me. however, after the women's open and under 20 came back, i realise my timings were bad compared to theirs. so, i realise yes i did push, but i did not push to my maximum.
Mistakes : Tried to conserve too much, resulting in a not-so-fast starting.
Did not increase pace in forest & highway.

Strengths : Did not slow down when people overtook me, instead i fought back.

And i felt really touched when Xinying & Elsia gave up their team medals. it was really sweeet & sacrificing. Thank you. This is really truly team spirit. Thank you for sharing your joy with others. I believe all this ' little givings' can actually help the team, and bond us more. i love you both (:
