Weeks passed, as they did, we drew closer and closer to SEASAC which was apparently the prime goal during the cross country season. We went to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, for these very competitions. It was only a two-day competition in which on the first day, we did the individual 5K run and the last day, 3k relay. Uninteresting to say but I did not come first in the individual 5k run, rather I scooped the fourth position which is not at all that bad. Actually it was a fantastic performance given the vast runners that took part in the event. The following day I promised myself to obtain the first position in the 3k relay and it happened just like that, all thanks to my confidence and of course a bit of ego.
The course was what is called,” the real cross country course”, characterized by a hilly topography, muddy, bushy, a bit rocky and other conditions. Despite all these, I managed to become strong and produce as best the results as I could. It is therefore not a surprise to hear that we did not come back to Singapore empty-handed, we came back as the CHAMPIONS with each one of us having a gold medal around their neck although the girls’ team got Silver medals. Up in the air, we lifted the trophy. Overall it was an eventful experience to be put into the history books and forever cherished.
