4th RC swimming team

in the past 72 hours, i am in good mood..

why?
dun ask...

jz because i got bronze medal in the SUKMUM swimming competition...
*weeee*

Sukan Mahasiswa Universiti Malaya a.k.a SUKMUM is being held every year, as usual, and of course...

and this year, i join the swimming team..

of course, we have to undergo training lo...
for the whole week, no matter day or night, we are being "forced" to do hell training..
let's see the training time table..

• wake up at 6.45am EARLY in the morning (when my roomate is still sleep on the nice soft bed with warm blanket, argh!!) to jog.
• untill 8am, then the early training session is over..by the time i go back my room, my two roomates is STILL sleeping and yet i am the one so energetic ready to go to class...haiz...have no idea whether this is good or bad...

this is only land training in the morning...how bout evening or night time where we will have our " water fight"? let's have a look...

• warm up by swimming 200 m or 400 m sometimes. the pool is olympic size, 50 m in length.
• then start training by 100 m x 8...means that we will have to swimming 100 metre for 8 times..every time you finish 100 m, you can only stop to bubble for 10 times only..
• 50m x 16...same as 100 m x 8....
• cool down 200 m or 400 m...

actually this kind of training is quite light for a swimmer...we would call it hell training because we are normal swimmer!! we aren't professional swimmer ma..so not so use to it at very beginning...but a last, it is like normal to us already...

for the whole week before the competition at 19 and 20 January 2009, this is our program...land training in the morning and swim at night.at night time i go back to my room, it is around 10pm already...unpackk my bag and i am ready to bed.. seriously, swimming is TIRING !!!!!

although it is tiring, but you can see the change in me..

for the first time , my record for 100 m is 4.53 minute while others is 2 minute something..
it means, i am totally 1 lap slower than them !!! what the...
then after the training, i manage to swim for 100 m in 1.55 minute...yipee..that's good..
i though 1.55 minute is the best record i ever had..

but in the competition, i was shocked by my newest record!! 1.49 minutes!! even faster than the training!!
*wow*
unbelieveable for myself..
as for others team member, everyone break their own record in the competition also...
*wee*
so what can you say about competition and training???
perharp competition can unlock your unknown power inside your body in which you yourself don't know even during the training time..

feel like want to talk and write forever about this topic but i would use my laziness as excuse..i will stop here and let the picture do the talk..


oh no, the futsal goal will collapse if we don't support it!!!

this is one of the warm up / streching session.
