I passed my IPPT (ver 2010)!
After my failure last month at Khatib FCC, I finally managed to pass my IPPT at Safra Toa Payoh today. The last time I failed because of the stupid 2.4km run. Did not even manage to complete the 6 rounds. Just felt my lungs gonna burst & my legs were like jelly. I realized that I had not really trained hard enough. Not to forget the extra kilos I've gained over the year make it even harder for me.This time round, I made sure I trained hard enough on the treadmill. Well, it did not matter that I won't be able to get any cash incentives if I passed at Safra. Frankly, all I wanted was to pass the #@*#*% IPPT & avoid the dreaded RT!! I'm going to start my new job this month & it's not gonna look good on me if I tell my boss I need to go off early cos of stupid RTs. This is why I'm determined to pass this time round.
The 2.4 run on treadmill was really a killer. I was so exhausted I almost fainted. I really could not believe that I could complete the run even though I had a few practice sessions. The only reason I could think of was that God had given me the strength to finish the run. Below sort of summarized what I had been going through:
1 min - "this is gonna be easy"
3 min - "mmm.. getting a bit out of breath liao"
5 min - "legs felt like jelly already. Wad! only 5 mins & not yet halfway done!"
7 min - "Puff.. puff... puff... I gonna die!!!??!"
9 min - " God, pls help me!!"
10 min - "my legs gonna break.. y my vision is a blurr??"
11 min - " my mind is a blank" (PTI was tokin abt some crap but I just can't be bothered liao!)
12 min - "......"
12:49 min - " Thank God"
PS: I've been nursing terrible muscle aches & pain in my shin for almost a week liao. What a price to pay for passing my IPPT. I hope my posting serve as an inspiration to those struggling to pass the IPPT. Just dun quit & preservere! U CAN DO IT!!!
