Cross Country Got 64th in the competitive race. Shit man. I know I can get at least top 30, but no mental strength. What a disgraceful position. Should have run in the mass run, then can get badge.As I am more of a sprinter, I prefer the sprint-stop tactic, though it's not as effective as the consistent one.

I start with the consistent tactic but when people run past me, it's very demoralising. Hence I changed tactic . I sprint-stop al the way to the finishing line. Near finishing line, I sprint so fast that I ran past 11 runners. I am quite surprised with my speed, after running for so long. I think the slope play a large factor and also because I walk about one third of the distance (4.8 km) so have much strength left. I can hear people exclaming: 'Wah so fast!'.

This school has many good long distance runners, especially the girls, some of whom, can run much faster than many boys.
