REflections on a successful NAtionals

this is my first nationals, and i wanna post my reflections here!!

many a times during relay races, i've wanted to give in to the shagness, but juz the thought of my previous relay-mates having given their all, even past the stage of physical and mental numbness, juz spurred me on; the fright of being the only one to not give his all, his 100% to cause the team to perform badly, gave me the willpower to move my stiff muscles.

and so it is here, at 22 years old, after almost 15 years of competitions in all sorts of sports at all sorts of levels, did i realise the true meaning of team spirit. it's about everyone giving his best, for his teammates and friends. all throughout this competition, i've seen the act of giving your all and sacrificing that last ounce of energy to give your teammate an extra 10 seconds lead all around teamNUS, and that really warmed my heart.

no doubt out team spirit and confidence in each other has given us that extra strength and spirit to win some medals we din expect to win, especially for the guy's team B. and this is also my first time i've seen the team cheer for the individual competitor, for the person, not only the school.

in summary, i wish to say this nationals has really shown me the true meaning of team spirit and most importantly, friendship.

WOOO-HAAAA ULC!!
