I fell today.

Literally.

FUCK.

Today was 4x400 relay heats.
I was a runner.

Was at SJI at 5pm. It started raining. So the event was postponed till 6.30pm
There were supposed to be a breakdown.
2 runners from 1T03. Kenny and I and 2 runners from 2T03.
So we met our seniors and discussed.

I was chosen to be the first runner.
PRESSURE.
Seriously. In relays, usually the first and 4th runners were the stronger ones.
Not for our case. Our stronger runners were the 2nd and 4th runner.
When i was at my starting line, i looked at the competition.
Pretty scary..

Then Bang. I started running.
100m , i was 3rd.
200m , i felt someone coming up from behind.
240m , i was overtaken. 4th place.
300m , animalistic bloodlust took over me and i managed to regain 3rd position.
350m , my body started breaking down.
380m , SLIP. FALL!

Fuck.

I was nearing the finish line. I could hear people cheering for me and then , BOOM. I had to fall.
End of story. during that period, i dropped to 5th position.
I struggled to get up and my baton which had skidded away from my body.
Passed it to 2nd runner.

Well , we ended up 4th.
but still... its because the rest of my team were strong.
i seriously feel like a letdown.
I mean. The other guys ran so hard to get that 4th position back.
The only consolation was that. Apart from Kenny, only 2 other classmates saw my unglorious fall.
Thank God it wasnt during sports day.
Nevertheless. Shame on me.
If only I had a second chance.
I,d make things right.
We would have gotten 3rd. Maybe just maybe 2nd.

Well Goodjob Tim.
Trust you to ruin things for everyone.
