IPPT Silver!
took my ippt at Bedok Camp today.. my 3rd time taking there.. was kinda nervous at first cuz it was already 5pm by the time i reached and they're abt to start the test.. my number for the day: 337..
first station no problem as usual.. did 40 sit-ups in abt 45 seconds and i went off before the 1 minute was up.. kinda 'hao lian' but that was what the PTI told us.. we can juz go when we're done, dun have to wait for 1 minute..
next is standing broad jump.. to my surprise i jumped 243cm on my first attemp and the PTI juz said gd and pass me my tag.. (actually at first i didn't know 243cm is 4 or 5 points, but since the PTI returned me my tag, it must be 5 points then).. chin-up next.. i struggled abit.. but managed to do 10 as usual..
shuttle-run was not a problem either.. 9.3 seconds.. same as last year i think.. after a short rest, it was time to run 2.4km (i was still panting abit after the shuttle-run and wasn't mentally prepared for the 2.4km) i went to stand beside Kein even though my no. was 337 and his was 301.. first time i stand in front to start the 2.4km..
1st run took me abt 1min43secs.. struggled on for the next 3 runs.. finished the 4th run in 7mins43secs.. got worried because i have less than 4 minutes left to complete the next 2 rounds.. finished the 5th round in 9mins55secs.. thought i was gonna miss my silver.. widened my strides and gave all i could for the 1st 200m of the last run.. got tired and slowed down.. DASHED last 100m and my final timing was 11min38secs.. 2 more seconds and i would have earned $100 less..
so glad i managed to scape through a silver when i only ran thrice to prepare for this ippt.. however feel that its getting more and more difficult to run under 11min39secs.. seriously hope i can still manage a silver next year.. after that i'll belong to Cat Y.. silver timing for 2.4km will be extended to 12mins (thats wat Kein told me)..
