------------------------------------------------------- rant of the day: i am damn shagged out!!!! -------------------------------------------------------
ever tried so hard for ur ippt that u feel like ripping off your legs??
ever pulled 9 chin-ups and missed the gold standard by 1??
ever jumped SBJ at 230 and missed the gold mark by 4 cm???
ever did 37 sit-ups and missed the ippt gold by 1??
ever ran 10.2 secs and didn't manage to take 1 step faster to get the gold timing of 10.1 secs?
ever ran 9.45 mins for 2.4 km and missed the ippt gold timing by 1 sec???
ever trained so hard for 2 months or more and you know you've trained hard and well but when it comes to ippt day, you fumbled, stumbled, crumpled and cocked up every single station just by that small little bit???
ever had this feeling before?? ever felt like as though heaven is unfair?? ever felt that the station IC's didn't favour you?? ever felt like crushing your arms and legs just because you missed the mark, ippt gold mark, silver mark or even just the passing mark, by that bit???
i had acquantaince with this feeling before, something very similar.. just that i make everything but just the chin up.. and just because of that, i didn't manage to make it at command school.. but now, i'm proud, i repeat.. PROUD not arrogant, that i finally made it to ippt gold.. efforts for the past few months suddenly seem to worth it.. and another thing is.. i've clocked 200 km in about a month.. thats double joy for myself.. as for those who missed gold just by that bit and know that you've put in a lot of effort for training, dun despair.. next month's ippt would be your chance again.. and nothing is impossible.. cause even i could do it~!!! and until now i still can't really believe that fact.. yours truly is FINALLY a GOLD medallist!!!!!!
below's the result: Chin ups - 15 Sit-ups - 40 SBJ - 239 cm Shuttle run - 10.02 secs 2.4km run - 9 mins 23 secs
and erm.. will be $200 richer in my bank soon.. whahahahahahhaaha
