Titans Glory

Well, I din expect to win anyway. I was fifth, or shld I say second last, whichever way u prefer, I don realli care. I enjoyed myself actually, more than wat I’ve expected... Probably bcos I din go in with an attitude tat I’m gonna win sth; I jus wanna see where my limits are since Temasek Titans, which was two yrs back, and of course to haf fun! I did haf fun, in fact lots of it! It’s a job well done I wld say, slightly over my expectations, and decent enough 2b impressive...hee...**pat on the shoulder**

There were 10 events altogether. I flunked most of it in terms of ranking i.e. either got fifth or sixth. Well...wat can I say? Muscle bu ru ren? Probably I can put all the blame on the fact tat I was the first to do all events except for push-ups and 2.4 which were done together. I’m sure the last guy had got a lot more advantage than I did, having seen his predecessors’ mistakes and having longer rest esp after the pushups... But I was (still) pretty impressive with my forté...push-ups and chin-ups. Here’s the result:

Chin-up...1st ...tis was the first event, so my performance was excellent, one less than my personal best: 26. Nobody came close...heehee...

Bench press...5th...told u I sux at tis. But someone sux more. I struggled real hard for 19...9 more than the last guy

Rowing machine...6th...I haf never realli put my feet on tat machine b4, it was my first time. Well...guess I din do too well, I was the onli one below 800m in 3 min

Situp...unknown...pretty weird way of testing abdominal strength...cos every1 seem to get the same score...still prefer the titans way...whack for 3 min!

Dips...5th...beat the same guy in bench press here...26 in a min...6 less than the first man...argh...

Agility run...5th...I could haf done better, if I wasnt the first runner...i made a mistake, a stupid one, and was onli split second behind the 2nd, 3rd and 4th...argh...suck thumb

Push-up...1st...it was done in one-second beeping cadence played from a CD... beep...down... beep...up... beep...down again. Phew...it wasn’t easy...the other five were dead at ard 50. I carried on though, trying to break the record of 80, which is the end of the ‘beeping’ CD. I finished the 80 but they din accept the last count...not up to their standard they said...watever...watever...



Monkey bar...6th...4 behind the fifth guy. I was simply too tired after the push-ups to grip well...

100m sprint...5th…won the tallest guy...lost to the rest who were not as tall but still taller than me...



2.4km run...i met my expectation...6th...heehee...i still managed to get ard 940 despite of all the physical done b4 the run...and I was rather surprised tat I was able to keep two of all the other five ppl, who can run under 9min, within reach. They were jus 15 sec ahead of me...

Tat’s it. I’m happy with the result, it wasn’t tat bad. Temasek Titans was definitely much tougher...there’s the 1.6km shuttle run, 3 min alternate leg thrust and 5k lucky heights run...wooo...which I’m sure I haf no prob now. I reckon I’ll b ready to grab another Mr. Titans title with jus another week of trg... heeha...but well, I’m overage...



The main take-away frm tis event...the very familiar feeling of sore arms, muscles and back...wat haf I done to deserve tat?
