HCI Cross Country

Today was Hwa Chong's Annual Cross Country meet. This was supposed to be held last year as well, but due to H1N1, it was canceled. Therefore, this year was my cohort's first Meet, along with the Sec 1s. I shall first give a brief events outline:
1) Flag Raising
2) Competitive Run
3) Non-Competitive Run
4) Prize Presentation
5) End

The whole duration was from 8 - 10 am, about 2 hours. I was not actually running, as I was marshalling for the runners. Please forgive me if the last few lines sounded slightly stiff, as I could not think of any other way to put this across. Moving on, the HSC had planned several things for today, not that they all went well. Wellfare initiatives that succeeded included the one where they sold isotonic drinks for tired runners. However, their attempts at trying to encourage people failed, mainly because some people simply had a bad attitude and did not want to run. However, I think that overall everyone enjoyed themselves as the HSC also played music throughout the run. Moreover, I feel that the Secondary 1s were very enthusiastic and almost nobody in their cohort walked.

As this year was the first year that we were marshalling for Cross-Country, the manpower allocation was not well done. However, since this is the first year, such mistakes are natural, and I am sure that we will all learn from them. That more or less sums up this entry, as I cannot think of anything noteworthy to say about today. However, I will be updating the timing of my next post which was supposed to be posted yesterday, so do watch out for that. That's about all.
