I'm overjoyed today!
Did very well for NAPFA TEST ! Some of the scores were quite a surprise.
In sequence of the stations we did,
Shuttle run : 9.4s (A)
Sit-ups : 45 (A)
Pull-ups : 10 (A) IMPROVED !
Standing Broad Jump : 250cm (A)
Sit and Reach : 51cm (A)
2.4km run : 11:50 min (C)
Total : 28/30
Tt's kinda cool... Even the super runner Sophea secured 29/30. I have no idea how I did that 10 pulls on the bar so easily... I didn't struggled for energy even on the last pull. Zhao Qing was literally kicking the wall to get his chin up to the bar lvl haha.... Damn funny... Quite loser-style. Good job s19 guys. We all did 7+++ pull ups except for XY. Quite disappointing for him, coz he never actually go for pc but still at least he went to run 2.4km though he know he's gonna fail tt..
I was so nervous on the first station since I've never done any shuttle run trials at all this year. But still it turned out well. I was making some kind of car drifting sound when i hit each end of the shuttle run lol... new shoes- super grip. Jinyi borrowed my shoes, then David also needed mine coz his pair wasn't really tight enough for him.
Standing broad jump station. Jinyi, David and Kanhong all borrowed my shoes haha. It's through this kind of sharing and support that will improve our bonding ! Tmr also going NUS to play soccer with KH's bro and friends.
The 2.4km was so dreadful to me... I feared that most ! Last year was my best record, clocking 11.46 mins. I had agreed to pace yong kian and vice versa. But my stamina broke down after lap 3 and walked for a short while. Next lap I was really exhausted and I was hanging my hands on my abs and dragging myself through the distance. Upon reaching the last lap Sophea had already finished and resting at the basketball court. He shouted words of encouragement. Thanks bro. 6th lap. Mr Ng shouted something like 10:20 and I was getting really tensed. I keep telling myself, "NO I don't want to re-run this sickening 2.4km AGAIN! NO!!!" I grabbed hard on my sides and moved on... Last 200m I was picking up speed and as if sprinting for my life to the finishing line. 11:50. I've done it. Thank God up there.
The last 2 laps Jiesheng was popping back and forth about me...So irritating sia... I lost quite some focus on my run because of that. Then Yong Kian was also stopping and running. Both of us kept overtaking each other although we were supposed to pace each other lol... Then at one point I couldn't see him catching up so I went on my own. Felt quite bad that he didn't get past 12min when I did so...Sigh. But he's was also quite sad...failed standing broad jump. That's quite a biased station. Short ppl of course got disadvantage lar! So not fair. I think there should be standing vertical jump instead... Regardless of height, tall or short people will stand at equal grounds if they measure how high they can leap. RIGHT??!?!
Lastly, thank you YunJie n Denise for ur support :)
