It took me 2 years to realize that i might have chosen the right uni. Missing out on the chance to participate on the 1st year was regrettable. It didn't give me something to look forward to.
Partaking in TOT or annual athletics meet in main campus this year was very exhilarating indeed. I never knew it was so competitive. It was an atmosphere that i was looking for, that i needed here in USM.
I earned zero medals this year after running in a 4x100m relay and taking my pet event long jump albeit with some mishaps. After a stupendously slow run in semi-finals, we were surprised we go into finals that afternoon.
After a change of runners, we got ready for the finals. We came in 4th! A slip on the 2nd runner was all that was needed to destroy our hopes of even getting a medal.
Long jump was an even bigger disappointment. They didn't even register me for it but at 7.30 this morning, they called me to get my ass down there for it. I knew i was in deep shit after qualifying for finals. They were good. They were very good.
Came in 4th again!! The farthest jump was 5.9m while i recorded 5.4m which was even lesser than the ones i made in sec. school.
Didnt run in 4x400m because some guy wanted to participate. Sad to say, the team was let down by him when they came in 5th in their semis hence didnt qualify.
Although I couldnt get any medals this year but i have regain the competitive spirit that was lost after form 6. My naivety that being one the best in VI, i could at least achieve smth in uni. How foolish.
Nevertheless, with a little bit of training i'm sure next year's results will be better. I have found people who can run as fast or even faster, people who also has that desire to win. Next year's TOT is what i'm looking towards to.
Let's race bitch
