____Burning Rubber
My only competitive running race was during the AHM, so I must say that I am pretty much a newbie since I have only this much experience in competitive running. Afterall, I only started training for running during my NS years.
In the last 2 days, I experienced different forms of races - the road relay and the track events. I've seen countless track events on television and I know that such events are normally for sprinters, not counting the middle and long distance events. In a way, road running is more related to what I trained for during NS.
Knowing where my strengths lie, my "pet event" would be road relay and no doubt about that, for I finished first in the first leg of the race yesterday. People were exclaiming how fast, but I am sure I was faster. And I am even more sure that I've seen faster people. In fact, I felt pretty at ease during the road relay, I'm glad my legs are well oiled thanks to the AHM training I received. There was one guy who was faster than me marginally though. I must remember to include him into the IHG road relay team.
Today I tried out track for the first time. Chris who had some experience was imparting some of his experience about track and I am surprised at the amount of psychological tactics that track runners use. I have never seen such tactics used in long distance during my time with my AHM team. Even though having some running base, I must say I hate the lactic acid build up in the muscles due to sprinting. It is really painful and "sour" in the hamstrings. I wonder how sprinters cope with that.
Needless to say, we lost the medley relay when at the last leg, I lost my teams lead to the IVP runner. And was he fast! He cut past me just like that and even though I tried to give him some fight, I failed miserably. He must have trained to endure lactic build up for he lasted the whole race with no sign of letting up. I have never felt so defeated before in terms of running.
Anyway, it was truly an eye opener in which I've learnt a lot. But then again, I'd like to believe that I am a footballer and not a runner. Heh....
Currently Feeling Like: Laurent Blanc (where is he now?) when Thierry Henry (Arsenal) sped past me. Helpless.
