This is long overdue, but would like to reflect on the last competition-IVP at Simei. It was on the wrong track from the beginning, when I arrived late at the venue and had to rush my warm up and preparation. I started on 1.60m, which seemed easy for me. It always seem easy for me on competition day. Not sure why. Perhaps the tapering had me very rested and I feel extra bouncy on the day which mattered. Or was it the track there? No idea ! But anyway I didn't clear my starting height on 3 attempts. Was in a trance after that seeing the other jumpers compete to the end. My university NTU lost the track and field championships by 2 points to NUS. I felt responsible for that 2 points. We have not beaten NUS for a decade. This was our best shot since we had many national athletes in our university.torsdag, september 06, 2012
