This is the 2.4KM graph.
So I took NAPFA on Thursday, 19th August 2010. I've taken NAPFA thrice for the past week, once on Monday in which I failed by 4 seconds (2.4KM), on Wednesdays (did not finish), and Thursday (30seconds). I am proud to say that I am resilient in the sense that I keep going back to torture myself, but ashamed of the fact that I have this mental barrier stopping me from excelling, I mean, passing my 2 point fucking 4. As such, I've decided to draw up a graph which can give us a better insight of the mind of a weak-willed 2.4km runner:
As depicted in the graph, my mind follows it perfectly. This graph is an impression of my mind, and this is my explanation:
First round: OK, easy, this is a good timing, I should still be able to hit within 4mins for the second round...hope this lasts.
Second round: Ummm....OK, it'd be fine, I'm going to hit within 4 minutes...but what about after that =\
Third round: Fuck.
Fourth round: Aiya retake another time lah, what's the point of this =.= got war also no need 2.4km right how to run away from bombers this doesn't make sense =.= -carries on grousing-
Fifth round: FML. FML FML FML. Can we end this shit seriously. My stomach is burning. I have no desire to run this and the last round, I can just lie down and die.
Sixth round: Since we've gotten here already we might as well finish this and not appear like a pussy, so I shall run.
Yea so I was thinking along the lines of 'What's the fucking point...' at the 3rd and 4th round, and stuff like 'Aiya die already lah FML I made a girl pregnant and now I'm doing this shit', at the 5th round, but at the 6th round blind optimism would normally catch up, and the foolish thought of 'I CAN DO THIS, I CAN IMPREGNATE THIS PUSSY' take control of every fibre of one's being and he would run as fast as his lactic-leadened legs would carry him across the finishing line to the dramatic applause of everyone else...
...but that didn't happen in my case :c
The 2.4KM passing (for silver) timing is 12mins50seconds for 17, and 12mins40seconds for people aged 18.
Now I've lost the age advantage and will have to deal with taking it at Toa Payoh or something. 2 months, I must not lose 2 months worth of masturbation for this shit! >(
P.S. My graph made so much sense (;
