HCI Relay!!

Hi.I want to share with you an extraordinary event that happened.I participated in a relay of 12 x 200m and............my class won 3rd!!!This is a picture of me and it was a shock for me as I had never participated in a relay before.That is me in the foreground of the picture wearing a shirt of white colour.

The Procedure:

I was positioned as the 6th runner in my class and we were running on the lane 8,the furthest and longest lane.Thus,there was a high possibility that we would lose and get the last position.For our first runner,it was Yishin,so he ran as fast as he could to pass the baton to Jeremy Ee who was the next runner.A miracle happened,the class on the 5th lane,caught up with Yishin and thus we were demoted to the 3rd position.This went on for quite a while until it was my turn.I lost the 3rd position but at the ending,I caught up with that runner and took over as the 3rd position.We then continued our lead and maintained our position until it was our last runner's turn,Perng Jia Yu,or better known as Brendan.He widened the gap between us and the class in the 4th position ,thus securing our 3rd position.

The feelings:

During our relay,Jonah,the class chairman,cheered us on and encouraged us to give our best and that this was only a competition,not a national competition.He was there when we really needed him the most.When I lost my position to 4th,I saw Jonah there,flailing his hands wildly and shouting,"Come On Ong Sean You Can Do It!!!" His expectations for me were high and I knew it and I increased my speed . I narrowed the gap between me and the 3rd place runner.I caught up with him.I passed the baton to Jeremy Lim and I lay on the grass,dead tired.After the entire process,we were cheering Brendan on and some of us were running alongside with him to encourage him that he could do it.

At the end,we won 3rd and we were elated.We came together as one group and hugged one another,congratulating one another's good efforts.Even Jin Lin ,who was so tired after his run walked towards me and said,"Wow,I did not know that you could run so fast!!"

They see me as an "all-rounded" person and thought that a somewhat "fat" person could not run fast.I proved them wrong!!

Thank You.
