Hooray


Hooray! Poly50 is finally over and Team SP.Primers got the 51st ranking.

Yes, poly50 is a yearly event by the school where every CCA club is being invited to participate in this event. This year, the poly50 was in conjunction with the NDOC.
So many people have been wondering why we decided to take part in this event.
Initially, we thought that taking part in this event will entitle each runner with the poly50 T-shirt, just like last year. However, we are wrong; it is the helper for the event will get the free T-shirt, hahaha! So in the end, we formed 1 team of ten (: We are also being told that primers has been always wanting to take part in this poly50 for the past few year but due to some constraints, the idea of participating was dropped.Yeah, and this is the reason why we joined.

Our team started our training just one week before poly50. The first training was horrible; everyone was weakened down after running for the first 25 round. The second and last training is considered not bad partly because of the first training and we managed to complete it in 1hour 45min for 50 laps.

The day has arrived and everyone is gathered at primers room to do some preparation. Some hiccups here and there, but we managed to overcome it. Team Primers proceeded to Admin center to do some warm-ups before the race. When everything is ready, the race started. During the race, it’s more crowded than expected. Nevertheless, it’s very hard to find our teammates. We started to feel tired in the middle of the race, but we managed to race on due to the encouragement give to each other. We kept on reminding each other not to give up during the race.

And Team SP.Primers completed the race in 1hour 41min, 4mins better during the 2nd training, so let give a 3 Cheers for Team SP.Primers! The sense of accomplishment makes each and everybody of us very delighted after the race.

Running for this poly50, speed isn’t part of the main factors that we could complete the race, most importantly is the Sportsmanship and Teamwork among us.

Since we have already started the ball rolling for the poly50 race, I am expecting you all to run as Team SP.Primers for the poly50 next year. Haha!

Last but not least, I wanted to thank the Team Managers, Helpers and Medics for supporting us throughout the event, not forgetting the runners too, runners like Xiuli, Hueylee, Juli, Nicolas, Jeffery, Weiqiang, Sebastian, Junkai, Weihao, they put in a lot of effort in this race. Hahahaha!

Cheers,
Shi Jun
