Cross Country!

Hello once again! It is Yi Da here. Today, I want to discuss about the Cross Country day. I will be touching on factors such as safety issues and other concerns.

Firstly, I thought that the Cross-Country run was certainly a lot harder than I had expected it to be. Looking at my seniors run seems so simple. However, everytime I actually run I come back panting and tired. And oh, I do no like running. What is your opinion of running? If you have the time kindly add some comments to discuss about. I shall not digress and i will continue with my point.

The cross-country run was pretty tough for me, at least. I was actually lost in the sense that I had no idea about the route. I simply followed all the people running in front of me. The lead runner sure experienced a lot of pressure as he 'decides' where people will go. The good thing was that the student leaders were very 'useful' as they stood around the borders of the tracks and served as great help to identify the course. Some of them were also very supportive and cheered for us.

Next, I have some concerns regarding the course. I know there is not much the school can do at the moment and I cannot blame anyone too. However, I think that I still need to mention this point.

Most of the run was conducted on roads in and out of Hwa Chong. As we all know, falling on the road would certainly be very nasty as the road is very rough. I think I remember seeing one student who fell on the course and the wound was quite bad. He did not run the course in the end. Yes, there is nothing the school can do. It is not like we have the funds to use a private course.

Lastly, I would talk about the playing of the songs of our choice during the race. Personally, I feel that it has not succeeded. At first, It seemed all inspiring and moivating. However, towards the end the songs were totally ignored(at least for me). Few were feeling all enthusiastic about the songs. Furthermore, the playing of the songs were jeopardized by the lack of sufficient time.

I hope that you agree with my points. Feel free(and please) discuss and give comments below!
