Another NCC Training - 22 Feb 2008

Today, after school, we had to stay back for the Virtual Singapura Programme. It's can be lame sometimes. But other times, it's fun when you get your character flying around like an idiot or lying on the ground like a dead patient. But I'm having NCC Training today!!! I SMSed my Staff Sergeant to inform him that my classmates and I will be late for today's training and he excused us. So I joined the platoon at 3. Being 45 minutes late, we're surprised to find that we didn't miss anything much. We did drills until 6. For Physical Training (PT for short), we ran 2.4 km. It was exhausting but I managed to get a record of 13 minutes and 26 seconds. I took 19 minutes and 36 seconds during PE lesson. I thought I improved remarkably but I didn't. The PE teacher made a calculation error and we ended up running 3 km the last time. That means:

Calculation 1 (During PE)
Distance: 3 km
Time: 19:36
Average Speed: 153 m/min (corrected to 3 s.f.)

Calculation 2 (NCC Training today)
Distance: 2.4 km
Time: 13:26
Average Speed: 179 m/min (corrected to 3 s.f.)

The training ended at 7.20 pm. The training this week is an hour longer. I only managed to get home at 8.30, after waiting for the crowded bus.
