Hands were itching as I step hard on my accelerator, time is running out. 6.55pm.
Dying to scratch the with my latest luxury purchase, the Curve.
Mana tau...
Potong steam.
Singapore fellas ppk, the supposed-to-make-my-day friendly postpone to December.
Haiz...
Back to routine.
Drills.
Talk.
Drills.
Suicide.
Talk.
Play.
Physical.
Up until now, we have been doing the running alone.
We can time our pace, push ourselves,
or give up easily.
This week, while the girls push the car, we have to settle for an Indian Run aka Dragon Run.
For Chris, it was a dream come true.
Well, maybe not his dream but something he was been looking forward to do. haha.
Rules:
5 in a team.
The last person to sprint to take the lead.
Each team have to finished 15 laps with every person at least having 15 leads.
No time limit.
Running in a team is a whole different scenario.
Each individual is at a different level.
To fit all 5 into a team and finish the exercise all together needs communication, determination and humility.
The fast & strong have to accommodate for the slow & struggling.
You have to sacrifice for the team. Like what the Coach said while debriefing.
It is a tough job.
First, you have to strategised,
Who to lead, who to tail.
Have to change a few leads to settle with some one who knows how to control his pace and wait for his team mates.
The tail? just keep the aggressively fast fellas behind and teach them a lesson of "slow". haha.
The hardest part is to keep everyone in the team.
Controlling the fast,
"Slow. Slow."
"Maintain!"
Pushing the slow,
"One, two. One, two"
"Keep the feet going, slow but bigger pace."
Fighting the pain,
"Pain is nothing. Stop only if you cramp."
"Don't stop. Move your legs."
In the end, we managed to finish the exercise.
Dead last.
But we finish it as a team. All five.
*Satisfied*
I feel the exercise, like what the Coach mentioned during debrief, it is more of a mental training.
Running alone is to push yourself mentally to break your limit, keep going while your mind tells you to stop.
Running together, for the fast is to control yourself and run for the team. It is not so much of pushing to finish it fast but to push your weaker team mates. For the slow is to push yourself to not drag the team down. It's a two way thing.
Well, this is the first for many to come.
As said by the Coach, we'll really be tested when time limit is applied and every minute passed with require extra "exercise".
Can we cope and suffer for you team mates??
I think we can,
I hope we can,
I believe we can.
Just to share with you some quotes cum philosophy from the great Phil Jackson which I strongly believe in:
"Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the Me for the We."
"The strength of the team is each individuals, the strength of each individual is the team"
Time limit?
Bring it on!!
(Talk big. Might get killed in the process. XD)
