September
Song by Earth Wind & Fire
I woke up and did my prayers. I made a special prayer to pass my test. It was my mistake to drink milk. I didn't know my stomach was giving me problems and I found out after drinking the milk. I went to the toilet again. Before going off I kiss my wife who was still sleeping. I gave her a good hug and she said to me " Don't exert yourself".
It was about 10 minutes drive from my place to the IPPT area. I parked my car at a designated area and proceeded for my in processing. There were quite a number of people there despite the fact that its quite early in the morning which was about 730am. The static stations were are all electronic as I expected. We had a choice to pick which ever station to go first and I chose the 'pull up' first. I managed about 4 which was 2 points - good enough for bronze I guess. I did the other stations and chalked up enough points to qualify for the monetary bronze, that is if I get my 2.4km below 13min.
When I started running I did not feel good. My stomach was still twisting and turning. I paced myself and manage 3.55min in the first lap. "Not bad", I thought. If I can manage that kind of timing for the next 2 laps I can still get my money. For the next lap I did about 810min. I was on my way baby! I wanted to start running fast but then I told myself to startegize. I only opened up when I reached the incline which was about 11.30min at that time. " Use the downhill slope as an advantage ", was what the PTI said. I followed the words to a 'T'. I sprinted to the finishing point and look up at the electronic scoreboard ....... 12.28min! Yes! I did it! All my hard work for the past 1 and half months paid off. Alhamdulillah, thank God. I went to buy Nasi Lemak from Adam road for my wife after that. I probably use the money to buy her something nice.
