Joke's On Me

"Train for it. Go all out. Who knows, you might win"
Said my dad.

Yeah, ok. Rightttt (sarcastically, eyes rolled)

" I'm serious. These things could happen. Who knows," He said again, ironically while handing me a plastic of chocolates he bought from  some airport from a recent trip.

Sure. ( more eye rolling)

Wanna know the biggest joke of the year?
Well, somehow I got selected to run for KKM Perak.
I'm in for two events.
1500m and 3000m.
And the big national level event in Sabah is only a month and a half away.

Nak sangat middle distance kan?
All I can say is : Hah. hamik ko.

I have no idea how to go on with this track running business.
Do I need spikes? Can I use my normal shoes?
Pace management? On track training?
Apekebenatang?

" Physiologically, these middle distance events demand that athletes have good aerobic and anaerobic energy producing systems, and also that they have strong speed endurance."
 ^ Middle Distance Running. Australian Institute of Sport. Retrieved on 5 April 2010.

Strong speed endurance?
What the hell, man?

Sure, the free airfare and a 5 day cuti tanpa rekod holiday in Sabah sounds wonderful ( I really need a break from work) but I hate the pressure of expectations that comes with it.

Boss aku siap bagi pantun tak sengaja:
Hang menang, balik naik kapaterbang,
Hang kalah, balik berenang.

I don't really have high hopes of getting a medal. But I do hope I don't get last.
So in short, I will train not to be last.
Sounds like a plan.

Adoi, kena activate balik Dailymile la nampaknya.
