Syenergy 2009 Adventure Race
To post an entry at this hour is tiring enough. I had just completed my school's Syenergy 2009 Adventure Race and after coming back home from a dinner at Suntec City, I feel shagged. The bad news is that there are plenty of obstacles that I need to complete with my partner, Ping Ding. While for the good news, we managed to attain the 5th position of the race, out of probably 15 teams? Cool!
We initially told ourselves that we would aim for the last spot as Ping Ding did not have the time to train back her fitness level. I was just her pacer for the race but before the race commences, we decided to aim for 2nd last instead. With the final results shown that we had got 5th position, it was a happy news for us, especially to Ping Ding, who felt that she had made alot of achievement from this race. As for me, I will be happy too, especially it was an unexpected result that I feel that I could not get it at all without anyone's help.
Just to keep things short at the moment, I feel that the race obstacles are much fun compared to the situation last year. There are mors obstacles throughout the race and every route has its own purpose. The best part for the day was the kayaking, which it seems that our team has been moving quite fast as we paddle around the area and back to the shore. The toughest part was the eating of wasabi bread, which makes me feel sick at the moment once I think of the taste of the food. Seriously, I guess I will be skipping breakfast for the next few days, especially bread. =X
Well, we made it! 5th position and I dont know if there could be any alumni teams taking part for next year. Once again, a huge success for our team, as well as the organizing committee for this event. Thank you very much.
Shall sleep now. Tomorrow there's a big concert to handle... at Esplanade... COOL!!
