POLY50 Campus Relay '10

SP.Primers will be involved in Poly50 yearly, including this year. But what makes this year different from the rest, is that we have sent out 9 teams this year.

What is Poly50 all about if you ask, well Poly50 is a 10 man & woman team race running around the workshops and main administration building. Participants are required to complete 50 rounds of the circuit, of which certain rounds must be completed by lady runners.

"Poly 50 is not about winning, it is about completing the race as a team and getting to know each other in the team better." Shawn, one of the team captains commented. Indeed it is true, SP.Primers is not out to win the race, but we are out to complete this grueling event as team.

Before the race, some were feeling nervous and scared, while some were feeling excited and ready about the run.

Challenges is what most of the runners faced. "As the competition heats up, many of the runners including myself were already “half dead”. Some of the runners’ faces were pale, while some of them actually fell down and injured themselves." Edmond Lim pointed out. By the halfway mark, vomits can be seen at some of the checkpoints, those who were well went to care for those who were not feeling well.

"It felt really great! I’m really proud of all those who run with me! We made it to the end!" Keh, another team captain who liked to appreciate her team for being able to complete this run as a team.

We are still in the midst of getting the timing for all the readers of the blog, but do not worry, when we have the timing, we will post it up here asap.

But here is a video montage, for the POLY50 run. Enjoy!
