MSR...
MSR = Main Supply Route...some Army term...but anyway, aside from that, today was the MSR Challenge 2004. Did sorta 8km+? I dunno...din go and take note of the actual distance, but covered 5 checkpoints lar (4 compulsory, 1 extra... which is the vertical challenge). Quite okay, finished in like 45mins, but dunno distance la. And somemore, heard tt can do >5 checkpoints! Argh! IF that's true, then we all could've gotten more points, 'cos we would've gone to checkpoint 3 another time (so short dist :p)
The start was impromptu lor... tell us to get ready at the start line, but end up sounding the gong (aka flag off) w/o us preparing for it. I was supposed to go for the 1st CP (vertical challenge) and get into top 10 (not so easy) [top 10 runners to a CP get 2x the points which are allocated to tt CP] and what I saw was *vroom!* 10 men had rushed off the starting blocks liao. Plus... as we reached the high slope (4 stories deh..) I started to slow down, and also, many started to chase up, coz a lotta of their strategies banked on getting top 10 in tt CP and then covering the rest of the CP with relative ease... well, din get top 10, but still finished race la, so not bad (i guess? cant compete with those sch runners wad...).
Our unit came in 4th for the Open category, and 5th for the Chain of Command (COC) - which they had to get some stuff from each of the CP to the land rovers. Overall, commendable effort finishing overall 4th! GSMB was first (as expected, and booed...), 1st TPT + STTS and 3rd TPT + HQ S&T came in the later 2 places...so, good job guys!
Oh today was also the day for our commissioning dinner / gathering...din hold a formal dinner, so had an informal session, anyway our numbers are small, and most of them also like quite 'sian' of having a formal onez.. (-.-') Dinner @ Hard Rock Cafe, not bad, and it was damn solid. Nice job by Puay Hong and his committee members :)
Lastly, today also marks Cynthia (Mingli) departure to Aussie land to study...all e best gal! Bon voyage, and see ya soon! Lotsa luv and bestest wishes :)
