ATC 2011!
Before the race!
Team Y.X.M.N
During the race, solving the mathematical puzzle.
After the race!
Amazing, fantastic, exciting, motivating race!
Yesterday,
I woke up in the morning and met up with Edwin before heading to PM for sea training. Totally deprived of sleep but need to pass him stuffs so by hook or by crook, I had to go down! Weather was rather cooling but I guess I was slightly burnt from the UV rays instead! Anyway, guess what? Felicia and Jiayao came over for kayaking too, we bathed and Jiayao drove us to Bukit Timah Food Market for dinner before driving us home and I concussed shortly after in the car.
Back home,
I actually made the effort to unpack my stuffs before I straight away dropped dead on my bed at 630pm. I was really THIS tired and I couldn't even be bothered to reply any messages despite waking up a couple of times. I set my alarm at 430am but ended up waking at 5:18am automatically, after 11 hours of sleep. FABULOUS.
Morning, rise & no shine yet.
Brushed my teeth and took out my contact lens (Yes, I slept with contact lens last night, very tired, okie?) Bathed and finally caught up with cyber world in the early morning while waiting to meet my awesome foxes for the annual inaugural ATC 2011 at Khatib. HEHE, finally a race in the north!
Khatib, in the train.
All 4 of us were in the same train but different cabins. HAHAHA, ended up meeting each other at the gantry and headed to the holding area. We actually reported 3 hours early because of the delay in the race. It's actually good to report early so we had the chance to change our sizes for the race singlet. It was so small in size, made us look like dumplings!
Right before the race..
30mins before the race and I felt the hunger. I had my breakfast at 6am or earlier, can't blame me for getting hungry. I had to eat, otherwise I would be a damned burden for the guys and lucky enough, our race delayed so I had a rough 1hr to digest the food so I wouldn't feel so full. :D
Finally, flagging off for our detail!
Together with Yuduan's team, we jogged to the first station which was kinda far (to me, and actually it was far for all the stations) HAHAHA, what a loser, we saw the first station and sprinted there, kinda blocked the other teams at the station when reading the instructions on the table. LOL, is the table too small. HAHAHA. This station was awesome cos I had a damn good coordination with Yutai. We completed the walking for 1 round at the field with legs tied together, putting both of our hands into the same glove and folding the origami with awesome teamwork. (Y)
Great start of the race!
Imagine a team with 3 casualties from previous accidents, we completed the race like a boss. We swam, kayaked, cycled, ran, tunneled, jungle trekked and abseiled (oh, fighting the scorching hot sun, (they) ran with the water bag) as though none of us was hurt at all. Yutai's a good source of motivation, his never give up spirit and believing we can do it despite having injuries was really awesome. Good job, bro! Well done, Team Y.X.M.N!
HEHE, much giggles and walking!
Sun was a torture and I'm really burnt. The stretch to the kayaking station made me !@#$%^&*. No shades at all and the sun was literally cooking my skin. It was all red even though it wasn't even half of the race yet. Kayaking was fun, at least better than X-Physique. In fact, ATC was really much better than X-Physique.
Why ATC?
The elements, the stations they planned were so adventurous, bashing through the jungles, tunneling, swimming, abseiling, mountain biking, paddling with closed-deck kayaks & walking in the drains are way more fun and adventurous than X-Physique. We didn't have to navigate at all too, just follow the designated signs but some of the routes were kinda demoralising. One whole stretch of road without shades. It's cheaper too but goodies bag wasn't as good as X-Physique. NTU Sports Club have more $$ than NTU ODAC. HAHAHA, it's true anyway. SPA also have to fork out own money whereas SP Sports Club is never lack for any monetary measures.
Alright alright,
Race was done and over with! My team and Shini headed to NorthPoint for lunch + dinner at Pastamania since we have vouchers from ATC. HEHE. Whoa, splendid dinner and really glad that Khatib is just few stations away from my house. I get to reach home first and get the much deserved rest! :D
Home sweet home!
Unpacked my clothes, washed my dirty shoes (it's really gonna R.I.P soon, after 3 years of serving me with all the trainings, races, marathons) and thighs! A sense of big accomplishment, doing all these as soon as I got home. Then, I bathed and came online continued watching my Hell's Kitchen Season 5! Missed it so much, 2 or 3 days of not watching it and finally, I completed it tonight. HEHE.
I guess I shall hit the sack soon!
For waking up so early and tomorrow shall be my rest day! Finally, I'm done and over with for all the races in June! X-Physique (Ran in the heavy rain), NVM (Climbed 63 storey with limited ventilation) & ATC (Teamed with awesome foxes, completed the adventurous race in the burning sun like a boss!) They made my first 3 weekends of June a wonderful and healthy one. Great company with awesome peeps, couldn't ask for more. :)
Till then,
take care!
