On thursday was our class relays. Our 4 X 100 m relay team was boasting with confidence , sure that they would emerge first in the heats. However, our first runner pitted our loss. He was much slower than other classmates, but he just would not want to give up his position. He lagged behind a lot people. Fortunately, our second and third runners caught up. But the best was still the last runner. Although he was lagging by at least 20 m, he gave all his might and chased up at the finishing line. He dived forward, and looked as if he had won. However, he had lost by a mere 0.06 seconds and lost.
I also ran my class relay(12 X 200 m event). We won by a tremendous margin over the second positioned class. As our class has a sprinter, we had a huge lead, which helped greatly in our success. I was not in my best form that day, and ran quite slowly, although I maintained the lead. However, our victory was not sweet. There was a ruffle between who was going to run. There was a last minute decision to change the runner just before the race. It was our captain's decision, and the person who was booted out was very sad when he saw that our class won.
