SP BIATHLON 2011

On a bright Saturday morning (only because it was so blasting hot) on the 6th of August 2011 we spent the morning at Singapore Poly for the SP Biathlon.

This was the first biathlon for many of us and we naturally went for the beginner route: 250m Swim, 2km run. Sounds like a piece of cake, doesn't it? NOT(well for me anyways). Other brave contestants such as Issac, Jin and Cass took the slightly longer route of 450m swim and 3.3km route while the BRAVEST OF THE BRAVEST( and the most hiong of all) UNCLE XQ & SAM took the longest route of 750m Swim and 6.3km run.

However, while we all met at 8.05am at the DOVER MRT STATION, majority of our events would only begin in the late morning/afternoon but NO WORRIES:) we took lots of pictures :D enjoy:)

Lastly, Cass and Jin were 1st and 3rd respectively for their category and Hui Hiang came in 1st for her category as well. CONGRATS u guys:)

All in all, it was a great experience and I've learnt that as little as 2km sounds (lesser than the usual 2.4) it ain't no joke to run after swimming. Phew, gotta train up for whatever comes!

RP/ NTU/ SIM/NP

Saturday's training was different than usual, we were in school to have a round of friendlies with NTU, SIM & NP. This was specially put up to allow the Year 1s to gain exposure and tips as well as to learn what it's like to take part in a competition.

This was a learning experience for all the Year 1s and it also gave us a chance to bond with the Yr2s more:) We learnt and we had fun under the sun:) Hopefully we will have more of these friendlies so that we can learn more as well as meet more new people:D
