in an instant, my participation in the upcoming swimming nationals has become very bleak.

at training today, i was on the last 50m sprint and i was pumping hard, and in the last 8 metres, i felt my groin suddenly giving way, the pelvic region felt so unreal, and just like that, like a snap, it gave way. i finished the lap alright, clocked my fastest 50m in some 4 training sessions.. at a price.

that was the last lap of the day's training, and possibly my last lap this year. i'm scared. the way it looks and feels, it seems that i may have to forgo the competition. it's still too early to tell, but i can't walk properly now and every movement below the waist is accompanied with a twitching pain, and of course, a wince from me. it's acute pain.. and, boy, does it feel weird..

i've been told to rest, and rest i shall.. but, the pain still persists as i type this. i shall hope to stop limping around..

school has seen it's first week. my classmates obviously haven't left term 2 behind. they're all still up to their antics of teasing and drawing totally untrue theories that only they themselves can phantom and invent. to their credit, a vivid imagination does serve to enrich the mind.. but surely.. there's got to be a limit, wouldn't it be so? obviously, i need to blow up at them to show them i mean what i say..

it's good to see the pple around and it's actually good to be in school again. there are just 5 weeks left to the prelims.. the revision feels good, as it comes along. i hope to get more momentum there. the library will also slowly start filling up.

a hi and a smile is good enough to make a day..
