Ok so the template desides to screw itself up. Woohoo. That means it's time for a new one. After Common Tests.
The short 20-min run in the forest at Macritchie today really freaked me out. Flashback to January 16 2005, SWIFT run. That exact same route where I twisted my ankle at around 2km and ran through the pain for another 8km. My fear of downslopes really got to me, and I had to grab Chiteng's arm everytime we came to a slope. Then I'd take titchy steps forward, and when I hit the flats again I'd sprint to catch up with the rest. Thankfully I emerged unscathed, though I really think I need to get over my fear. Whenever we reached a slope, my heart just constricted and I'd be totally reduced to a whimpering mess.
Apart from that, today's race was okay. I think we did better than usual and it's all up to us for tomorrow's finals :)
