My Second Silver

Woke up in the morning still undecided about whether I should participate in the NUS Invitational Shoot. So I was there so why not I just go and have fun.

Thought I could have sufficient time to grab my breakfast but oh no!! Shortly after registration, Archers was called to the equipment to for checking of equipment. My adrenaline was pumping. The welfare manager, Margaret had fried rice and fried noodles and ground sheets and chairs and even drink. She suggested that I get some food before I shoot.

Yeah good idea, after that I feel a little more comfortable. After the checking of equipment, the sighting round starts and everyone was excited except me because I didnt have a target in mind and i think i will just shoot for fun and do my best.

Soon my arrows were hitting yellow and red.... then the thrill begins.... and unknowling my score for the 50 meters was 278 after 6 rounds of 6 arrows per end.

The time came to change my target face for 30 meters.. and the coach stay behind to study my arrow pattern and sugges that I aim a little higher when i am getting tired and my score was 291 after 6 ends after 6 arrows per end.

MY TOTAL SCORE WAS 569. I came to me as a surprise that i came in second losing by one point to the gold medalist.

So I did Mr wong proud. I called him and almost burst into tears because i was happy and yet sad cos he was not able to be with me to share my victory.
