The Immediate IPPT After the Pox

To face the harsh reality again. Despite having a fast recovery for chicken pox also got me some trouble due to the fact that I still had chicken pox at the crucial time. The period when I could pass my IPPT before the deadline for first 9 months is up. The day right after my last day of MC is already my last chance to redeem myself because the weekends is going to be CNY. Sian to the max... So I was already expected that I'm so gonna fail no matter what... And of course I would not pass pull up too since that has been my nemesis, and with the 2 weeks break and doing nothing, I would definitely fail without any doubt...

However, things did turn out unexpectedly. Again.
My life always seems unexpected.
At some point of time, I always tell my to expect the unexpected. But never did I expect the unexpected unexpected.

The first unexpected. I did passed pull up surprisingly. And it was pretty swift for me. I really cannot believe myself either. Has my weight really gone down when I was sick? Or my intensive strength training for triceps and chest did paid off and improved within the 2 weeks MC?

The second unexpected. Since I could do well for pull up quite easily, I could be able to pass the other stations as usual. But it did not. The overall performance did gone down. My sit ups was only 39 (Down). SBJ was 222cm (Down). My shuttle run was 9.7sec (Remain).

What about 2.4km? It was a long story. The weather was stupidly raining and the 2.4km kept delaying and could only proceed when the heavy rain became a drizzle. Nevertheless, we need to run in the rain. Furthermore, the stadium was occupied by the Bedok Camp own soccer event. (Yes, those who know me should expect what kind of thing I would say when I mentioned soccer. It was damn horrible and was kind of off limits to say in details, so I shall not elaborate here.) Hence, the running track was shifted to the bumpy and winding Parade Square. Hope you all can imagine how bad it is when I tell you that the runners have to keep turning for 7 times for every round, and puddles of water everywhere...

~The Indecisive Blame~
Think there is no need for me to elaborate further for my results. Yeah... missed by 16 secs. I not sure when I see people passed...
I should be blame for not putting enough effort for jogging leisurely after my gym sessions?
Or blame the running track?
Or blame the virus that perhaps only affect my respiratory system?
Or blame the weather?

~The Indecisive Feeling~
So now I only have to take the Remedial Training... This time without my RT buddies in 2010.
Should I be glad that I still passed my Pull up miraculously?
Should I be sad that I failed my last chance and had to RT?
Should I be glad that I still can produce such results despite recovering from chicken pox?
Should I be sad that RT will take up my mugging time?
Should I be glad that I will have no excuse to train up myself in RT?

I really cannot decide for myself.
