5SIR Wins 3DIV Challenge TrophyHundreds gathered at MacRitchie today for what is one of the most important events of the year. The annual 3DIV cross country challenge pits teams from different units under 3DIV's wing. Race was at 4pm, my team and I gathered at around 240pm for the usual briefing and warm up routines. It was kind of hard not to feel intimated by the huge turnout, especially since we heard that many of the runners there could run the 7km route in 23 minutes (the normal running time for the average runner is about 28-31 minutes). I thought to myself, "Oh gosh, looks like its just gonna be a fun run for me today." 4pm arrived. At the sound of the hand held horn, the whole lot of us took off. There was alot of jostling for places in the beginning sprint. Luckily for my team, we'd trained to burst off for the first 100 meters. The end result? Most of my team members and I were already ahead of the whole mass of bodies. Anyway, to cut a long story short. My team came in the fastest. I was placed 15th. Best of all, my unit won the challenge trophy. We are the Champions this year! Totally surreal.... (@_@) ~ Now, I'm just waiting for the weekend to arrive. Savant at 10/27/2005 07:10:00 pm ;
