0969

0969 - That's the new world record
2163 - That's the number tag of Usain Bolt

2230 last night - did you catch the race? Bolt rewrites his previous record in a seeming easy manner. Think he slowed down the last 10 m or so, so that he may break it again soon? Especially enjoyed the replay of his front view while racing - a slower start as all run while looking down at the track... for the first 10, 20 m then head up and look in front, great swing of arms with fingers straight while exhaling and inhaling to regulate breathing. The last 30 m or so? No one can catch him! Hardly make a good commentator but you get the point if you've watched.

& the math part: 9.69 s for 100 m
= 100m / 9.69s
= (100/1000) km / (9.69 /60x60) h
= 0.1 km / 0.002692 h
= 37.1 km/h !

How about this one? -> 1708

1708 - That's the birth date of Mr Lim! May good health comes his way!

Reminder: Wed training: 1430 set up, 1445 warm up~

Project Nutz 08

The race came early this year (last year was in Nov); on 25th Jul but only received news 23rd Jul - I couldn't make it but Mr Ser updated the results as: Boys Team 4th and 7th, Girls Team 4th. Well done all who went and ran (despite the very late notice). Perhaps some of you can help track the race date next yr via: http://sg.geocities.com/projectnutz/project_nutz/project_nutz_frame.html

Any brought cameras along? The following were from the website - taken last year:

Trilympics 2008

Run for a meaningful cause tomorrow! Actually, most races are meaningful but personal and school glory aside, the event "... inaugurated in 2006 as part of the Olympic Dream Series, it aims to reach a climax in September 2008 as part of a send-off party for Singapore Disability Sports athletes heading to compete in the 2008 Paralympics, Beijing. " - they have been training hard! Refer: http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/printfriendly/0,4139,161386,00.html

It's to fulfil the CIP hours.. yes... but look at the bigger picture and it may be easier to push yourself for 20 km tomorrow.

~ Will you be there? ~

Week 2 - Nat T&F

Congrats to Samuel and Wan Ping for qualifying for the finals in their respective events [800 m C Boys, 1500 m and 3000 m C Girls]. Actually, all of you who went and ran your best deserve a pat on the shoulder whether you qualify or not. [Abloy don't deserve a ruler... yet.] Tough competition @ Nat T&F so nevermind the position, the main competitor to beat first is really yourself; your PB!

While the majority would not be able to support the morning races, do try to go for the afternoon ones and events coming Friday. [Then again, Shawn Nah was one of a handful who turned up to support the 4 x 100 m relays yesterday ... but was mia from school today – sick?]
