just a thought...

when i heard from Pipot that the Powerbar Team Elite 2007 applications are open, i figured i'd give it a shot.

but the form is complicated. it made me realise how lightly i take the sport. for example,
"Superstitions and/or rituals for competition"

how am i supposed to answer that exactly?

a hardcore athlete would probably have something along the lines of "i put on my good luck bedsheet and pillowcase the night before" or "i'd stick to the same bathroom i always use". hehe actually, i got this from the movie Wimbledon, whereby this player refused to change his room after he won the first round coz even the bothroom plays a vital role.

an everyday joe would probably say "i'd stay off spicy food and get a good night's rest the day before" or something.

but i dont have a good luck blankie, i don't bother laying off spicy food (or any food for that matter) and i don't even bother sleeping early. the one and only thing that repeats before every race is i'd pin my number on the night before. this i must.

come to think of it, i think even my training is insufficient. though ive been showing progress, i think i still don't put in enough.

owell...:) just a thought...

now to get that form completed and sent by tomorrow. i just compiled my entire history of running into a table and found out that i have done 48 races in total since i started running in the year 1999. pretty cool eh? :)
