i attended the tryouts anyway.
for canoeing,all the girls need to do is run 2.4km.i started off too fast[considering the fact that i haven't trained in like,hmmm,SEVEN months],i was in my "with-sufficient-training" speed,bouncing and striding like there was no tomorrow.i was at the end of the fourth lap,when i started to feel my chest ache,so,at the last bend,i turned around and cheered on some of the other girls,in hopes of covering my slowing down.then the second girl caught up and ran with me.so yeah,cheering each other on.last lap,a lap of humiliation.at the first bend,my legs felt like they were made of lead,my lungs couldn't fill in enough air,and my ENTIRE slab of abdomenal[spelling?]exploded into this excruciatingly painful cramp.i had no choice but to fall back.i started to slow down to a jog and then i started to brisk walk.my companion,hannah,wanted to stay with me,but i asked her to move on anyway.at the last 100m,i grabbed my stomach and dashed down.but still,i sucked by 3.42minutes.what a let-down.oh well.
for dance,we were sent in in groups of twelve,since the dance room was kinda small.then they taught us a simple choreography[3 eighths]and we were to perform one by one to the "panel of judges" while the others faced the wall.this was done to eliminate unnecessary pressure.the president was really shabby with the steps,like not knowing where to finish and such.[not trying to be really cocky or whatever]the auditions went well but what baffled me was the fact that some actually forgotten the steps. q:
i didn't attended ODAC tryouts cause i felt it was a waste of time.tryouts were from 4.30pm to 7.30pm where they'll be playing games[???]so i went home.
tomorrow,there'll be water training at macritchie reservior.and well,during the "dry" tryouts,mr ang,the teacher-in-charge dispelled many rumours.so the team doesn't so pull-ups and run every morning and we girls won't become manly.and well,most of the girls are still small,slim and well,feminine.
so,dance will call if i'm shortlisted.but,i think i'll be taking canoeing.i'm not sure yet,STILL THINKING! (:
