so today was the big day! and..
ugh.
okay, so there are 18 people in total for c boys 100m hurdles, three heats, six people in each (i assume your math fails.) i got fifth in my heat, 11th overall. (which is pretty weird cuz i beat the fourth place of other heats) didn't qualify, since only the top 8 gets in.
Apparently my lucky hurdle charm (a shard of wood which i knocked off a hurdle by accident while clearing it)didn't help. but i cleared all hurdles with three steps, in between; usually i only can do five hurdles. yay personal achievment. my timing was 17.33s. but i could have done better, really. when i ran, i didn't think too much about technique, more about clearing with three steps, so i didn't lean forward enough when clearing the hurdle. it's really hard to focus on these details when you know that not clearing enough distance can give you a painful injury..
kuanhian did awesomely well and got 4th overall, ding hui the monster got 2nd. ah well.
eric got disqualified for his b boys 110m hurdles cuz he fell down and rolled a little bit into the next lane, sad for him..
dang, i can't pon sch tomorrow but kuanhian and ding hui can. but who cares, i won another race - at payalebar station, i saw the bus 76 at the bus stop and i sprinted, shoebag and backpack flailing around and i made it. i still feel good about catching that bus :D
