An utter disgrace

Unfortunately, I'm talking about myself.

went for ippt...everything went on fine and in fact, it was much better than I had hoped for. 5 points for all 4 stations. I was really scared my knee couldn't tahan the shuttle run and SBJ, but well..it did.

ok..thats the end of the good part. then came the 2.4km. I thought sure can get silver already. 3 rounds around Maju camp. I was in the first detail of the 2nd wave. The PTI line us up and set us off. I ran a blistering 3min for the 1st round....................................................

followed by 4min 30secs each for the next 2 rounds and ended up with a timing of 12min 13sec.

Lucky they add the bronze award..still got 100 bucks....

guess a couple of month with no running at all and a big Marche meal last last night really isn't the best way to prepare for ippt. well..not that i'm those kind that don't care one..but my knee just didnt allow me to train. but now i think i can start to do some running. knee didnt really show any problems during ippt. at least some good news for me. think its recovering (i was told by the physio that for some, the meniscus never heals) but i will guard against returning to any full action for the time being until the physio gives me the green light.

my knee still gives me discomfort when i try to bend it fully though..but the pain is lessening as time goes by lah..but the rate at which is recovering is disgustingly slow man..its been 2 months(although i did aggravate it a couple of times). well..the physio says its gonna take quite some time.

so i think i'll stick to gymming and swiming for the moment and maybe clock in some mileage on land too. need to get rid of spare tyre also!!
