"See that? That's our department's turf, they will all be there cheering for you."
"Wow, they're actually all there. I was wondering why I couldn't find our classmates for so long. Make sure to remind them to cheer for me," Chenxing squinted at the sea of people, a little daunted. "Phew, I'm so nervous."
The closer she got, the harder her heart pounded. It's true that she just didn't have the nerves for this. Sigh!
Running the 800-meter required both speed and endurance. Chenxing had a small plan in mind. Therefore, when the starting gun went off, she didn't dash forward with all her strength. Instead, she kept a moderate pace, preserving her energy.
It seemed the other competitors in her group were as wise as her. None of them were desperate to get ahead. It seemed all of them were waiting for the final sprint to give it their all.
Well, as long as I'm not last, that's all that matters. I need to preserve my energy and keep a positive mental state.
