Confused

What has gone...sometimes I still hope I can take it back...What is in my heart remains...those feelings never change... I'm not a coward if I can take on IB...but why? Why am I so worry of tackling this sensitive issue...? This is so unlike Caesar... or maybe...after everything that happened last year...I have changed after all? I wonder...

Inward Bound (IB)

Recently I have decided to have a go for the Fenner IB team. I believe that all of my friends in Malaysia would definitely have no idea of this IB thingy. Thus, I would explain it here. Inward Bound is something like a marathon, but it is much much harder than a marathon. What is the same is that both needs stamina to run long distance. The difference? IB requires navigation skill, in other words...ability to read map, use compass and identify your location. Yes, so basically in a marathon, you would run according to the designed path. On the other hand, in IB, your eyes would be covered before being left to some places (most of the time in forest) and all you have are a satellite phone (you call means you lose), a letter with the position encoded, foods, drinks, sleeping pack... That is right...that is what IB is all about!!! Oh yea, lets talk about the distance... IB has been the most popular and probably one of the most extreme interhall sports event. There will be 7 division...For each div, each hall will have to send out a group of 4 ppl in a team to compete. Just for your knowledge of the distance possibly covered...the lowest div...7...the team will be left approximately 16km from end point, and the higher the div...the further you would be thrown away from the end point. Div 1 if not mistaken would be about 40-50km away from the end point... Recently, I have quite a few pains here and there... I almost twisted my left ankle few times while training...my right knee looks sore...and pain at times...but what is worrying me is my back pain. It is kinda spontaneous...at one time, I suddenly feel painful while I'm sitting on my chair!!! The second time it hurts was when I was walking slowly to my room!!! How weird can it be??? One good thing though was that my stamina now has become pretty awesome... I could actually finish running 20km...and now even after finish 10km, my breathing is still smooth... Anyway, hope that I can make it into the team, I am included in the second draft for div 7 but the end results would be posted on next Monday...
