cross country and total defence
Y 7:30 AM
On total defence day, it is our annual school cross country meet and we had to go to Nanyang polytechnic to borrow their track to run. As I lived at the corner far from the track in the campus, I had to walk a long time to reach the amphitheatre where we had to assemble. I was lucky I had some schoolmates who lived near me and I volunteered to go with them.
After the total defence speech given by our school teacher and some survival skills taught by our seniors in the uniformed groups, we quickly move from the amphitheatre to the track and the seniors started running. After a few minutes, it was our turn to run and we went on to doing warm ups with the teachers.
After that, we went on to run 2.8 kilometres to end off the run. I was panting like mad when I finished my run and I dashed to the Milo van and gulped down two cups of the Milo and one bottle of water. There was a prize presentation for the 1st to 5th position and our class won quite a lot.
After the run I felt very tired and felt like I was going to collapse. I went home with heavy footsteps and decided to go for a quick bath and just lie on the bed to doze off. I slept at 9pm at night which was exceptionally early for me to sleep on a Friday night and the next morning I had a terrible whole-body ache.
