Platoon Live Firing..

This wk we had our platoon live firing.. our last outfield training during our service term.. the whole process was very tiring.. charge here and there.. shall not mention too much.. cos it related to army stuff.. haha.. during the firing, LTA Jeremiah ask me if i'm the one who took part in the Marathon.. cos he said he saw a guy frm Tango but not too sure.. haha.. i din see him sia.. anyway this wk was rather boring.. cos most lesson were lectures and admin time.. cos we had so called finish our service term le.. left less than 2wks and i be out of Tango..

My 1st Ever 42.195km Marathon..!!

Yes i did it..!! i'm so proud of myself.. can't believe tt i actually complete a run of 42.195km.. my timing according to my watch was 4hr 25mins and 31secs.. think next wk then i will find out my official timing.. YEa..!! the feeling was great.. the atmosphere was good.. i find that my $35 actually worth it.. i got one official sleeveless tee and a finisher tee.. both are Adidas.. think worth abt $60+.. haha..

Ytd when i collect my goodies bag, i expect alot of people but in the end like no Q leh.. haha.. a teenage ger serve me at the counter.. she kept apologize to me cos they had to find a shoe bag for me.. i was like keep saying "it ok.. nvm take ur time" hmm.. maybe i look piss off? can't be mah.. haha.. after tt went dinner with my poly classmates..

Reached home arn 11+.. bathe all these and slept arn 1.. woke up at 3.30am prepare my own breakfast.. and then my dad drive me to Tampines stadium to board the bus.. i miss the 1st bus.. but nvm.. the 2nd bus at 5am still make it on time.. went to the baggage area to deposit my bag.. head to the toilet and start my warming up.. wahz seh.. alot of people.. so crowded.. the atmosphere was really gd.. after tt the honk sound.. and off i go..

i maintain a speed of abt 9km/hr was feeling real gd abt it.. at abt the 6km mark, saw those elite runner ran passed me.. haha.. at the opp lane which mean they had already u-turn at the 1st u-turn point.. those runners r damn fast.. i ran non-stop for 28km.. along the way i passed a lot of people.. this make me feel real confident abt this race.. at every 10km interval, my timing was gd.. for every 10km my time was abt 1hr ++.. at the 28km my time was 2hr 40mins.. that where i stopped for a toilet break.. ate bananas and power gel to give me more energy.. after that ran another 2km then it was there where the most diffcult part of the race began.. my legs were cramp like hell.. for the last 12km, i was running and walking running and walking.. legs can't take it anymore i was pushing myself using my mental strength.. along the way quite a number of participants ran passed me.. i was slightly demoralise.. but it ok after all it was my 1st full marathon.. oh ya think i have to mention this.. throughout this race there r alot of pretty young ladies.. they were either the route mashaller or those handling the water point.. yes..!! that what i love most during an event.. haha.. jk.. hmm.. at the last 1km, there were this grp of cheerleaders.. wahz piangz damn gd looking.. haha.. then i suddenly feel very energentic.. zoom..!! i sprint off.. but atfer 500m, my legs cramp.. i walk abt 5m and rest.. then sprint all the way to the finishing line.. the music was blasting dman loud!! i dun feel any pain towards the end.. YEs..!!~

after the race i was damn tired.. walk for awhile b4 doing some cooling down.. went to collect my finisher tee and medal.. i look at it, just simply can't believe it that i actually had done it.. after tt rest for abt 40mins b4 i collect my bag.. met up with Jeremy cos he wants to return the chip.. in the end i took his chip and help him get the finisher tee.. haha.. he din took part cos the next day he's having ex-spade.. too bad.. haiz.. anyway.. later met up with TLR to get my sgrunners tee.. chat with him awhile.. and he told me that my timing was actually quite a gd one for a 1st timer.. hmm.. i also think so.. haha... went home after tt and get prepare for book in le.. sianz..

Platoon Field Camp..

Exercise Skylard and Nightbird.. plus Platoon field camp ended liao le.. Happy to say that was our last field camp for our service term.. ya think there will be more during the pro-term.. haiZz.. anyway for skylard and nightbird were both abt navigation.. searching for checkpoints all these.. since we had done alot of navi exercise therefore these two were relativly easy.. can say no kick.. haha

As for platoon field camp we learned platoon movement, different types of formation and most importantly know how to operated as a platoon (attack and defence).. it was very much different as compare to section level.. a platoon is much harder to control.. and it require alot of practise and co-ordination between one another.. everyone has to do their part if not a platoon will definitly won't make it during an attack.. the first few days of exercise was very badly done.. i dunno why.. lack of confidence, co-ordination or due to frtigue?? i really dunno.. guess we need more practise, practise and practise.. we were scolded by our instructors like we had nv been scolded b4.. all of us were very low.. i tried to keep my morale high but it was very hard.. the rain, the morning 5bx, the scolding really makes me sick.. most of the time my mind is on the Marathon on this coming Sunday.. Haiz worst still the 4pics rod inside the MG wallet were missing.. omh.. Wing Comm mention tt that's no more 1206 for missing items.. it will be a RCP charge.. i was very worried tt it might be me cos i'm the one who drew out the wallet.. but is the end, the 5 person who were responsible, were punished with an weekend burned.. wahz Hengz.. if not i wil feel bad for them also.. cos i know life as a RCP is not easy..

anyway during the 2nd last day of our field camp, we had a circuit test.. we did well for it.. and we were glad with our surprising performance.. almost perfect.. just that some of the mission were cock up at the very last part.. other than tt were alright.. our PC was happy with us.. finally our morale were back.. we felt gd abt it.. at the last day we had a mini mission with other 2 platoon.. and after lunch we took bus and went back to SAFTI..

We cleared our stores and arms.then book out le.. yes..!! Friday book out cos i gotten Gold for IPPT and under 9.00mins for SOC.. though was quite late but it ok.. as long as i can book out i happy le.. Oh ya 1 more days to my Marathon.. so excited and looking towards it.. my history gonna to be made and record will be set.. later evening will be meeting JinLiang and collect race pack and a mini poly yr 3 classmates gathering.. Ciao..!!~
