The impossible 3km.

.....Pondering, fearing, anxiety.
Butterflies in the stomach for almost two weeks.
Wanted to withdraw out from the competition so
many times due to my incapability and the limited time I had.
Running was meant to be my own passion and likes.
Not this moment, for the first time.
I had insufficient time to train and I was kinda mislead as
I thought the competition was on November.

Went training, extra running, climb stairs, etc.
As the days are drawing near,everything just got worst.
My body was not functioning right. I could easily go restroom like 3-5 times
a day when i think of that actual day. Got into depression mode.
Days were not easy to pass, I swear. Freaking do lots of thing to calm myself down.

the last day of track training before competition in sp.
I was freaking far away from my long dist. partner.
Demoralized. I wanted to withdraw again..

the day before.
Wanted to sms yiwei and said I wanna withdraw.
But it was his b'day..

the actual day.
Nothing went well the minute I woke up.
Went restroom like freaking so many times manx.
Legs trembled like jelly. Stomach churned with anxiety.
Wanted to produce an MC and withdraw.
Yiwa & Kesther told me to press on. Don't give up.
I ate a banana and went to race.
Rachel, Douglas and TeeYien was telling me jokes to make me
laugh before the race.Appreciated it:)

Scorching sun, wind and a pair of weak legs.
Bang! The race began.First three rounds was easy.
But not after that. I felt everything was against me.
Cannot take the heat and feeling terrible.Wanted to
just run out of the track since I was last by the 6th round.

Thought of what yuan bing and xing zhong said.
I could also hear the voices that said..
"Sherlyn go, Don't give up!" Every round without
fail from my track team and coach and surprised
to see des around! Press on. Mind over body.

I am running the track alone for the last round.
This was the freaking fear I had. It came true.
Pressing on super hard and finally completed the impossible 3km.
Got second last as another runner dropped out at the fourth round.
Den got heatstroke for the first time in my life.
Never felt so freaking weak for so long. Sobsob :((

Medical officers put ice, sponge me....
felt better after the care of Kesther and yiwa.
Went to bath and press the shower tap. Guess what.
There was a toad in the shower room!
Almost ran out naked la!Half dressed and came out.Eeeek!

Had steamboat after that and catch up with
a few seniors who used to be in track:)

Thank family, bfff, xy, xinggg and ALL my trackmates for
your cheers & encouragement!
Special thanks to Kesther, Yiwa and YuanBing for everything!
Knowing these gals are one of the best things that
has ever happen to me in track and I thank god for it:)

In a nutshell..
-Learn the power of the mind. It do miracles.
-Support from family and friends are very important.
One can really see who are your real friends.
-Pride kills. Position is important but sportmanship is even more important.

Woohoo!~ Its finally over! :DD
