Chapter 24

we stretched for about 3 minutes so that our bodies would not be surprised to run. "okay gOodluck to all of you !!you can go to the starting line and wait for the signal before you start running." he shouted again. we went to the front to wait for the signal until we heard a gunshot so we started running with Tin and Jared we were in the lead because we were in the front earlier, an hour later we were close to the river and because we did jog plus we were still carrying heavy bagpacks so we really took a long time for running, the others were left behind and we were still in the lead with the other cadets who were with us earlier mostly men, when we arrived at the side of river I rested about 10minutes, I got up so I could go down to the river when Tin spoke "Gail will you go down? take your timr to rest to have another strength if we cross the river. " Tin remind me. "No, I don't want to rest, Jared don't leave Tin huh? swim with her and watch her." I answered before turning to jared "are you sure?" he asked. "yes there are instructors in the boat who are watching if something happens they can rescue me dont worry, I'll be the first." and I turned my back on them "Be careful Gail." Tin chased "you too." my only answer I walked to the side of the river and started to go down I noticed I was the one going down, those with us were still resting so I started swimming butterfly stroke I did it at first but when I got tired I just floated and then recovered of strength freestyle that I did, I also have difficulty because I carry heavy as if pulling me down, when I get tired I float again. ngRrRrr !!!! a few minutes later I survived !!thank you Lord you are really kind to me but here I am tired again I almost crawled just to get out of the water there are also four tables near the river that is probably our lunch I got up to eat because I am also hungry, I will start I would have eaten when I realized the others are also going down with Tin and Jared I just continued my meal,I finished what I was eating when they were reached already in the middle. I just rested for a while when they were close to the side of the river I looked at them again obviously they also had a hard time like me before they seem to be twice as good., I started running before my companions got up I still have 2 kilometers to run and I will finish it so that I can take a rest !! my body is already in pain!!!! AaarRrgGggHhh !!!!! * gasps * * running * * gasps * * running * * gasps * * running * I almost crawled with the extreme pain of my muscles in the body !!! "Congratulations your the first cadet who arrived here in the finish line your also the first cadet who finished the activity in a short time im so proud of you" ^ ______ ^ our Commander vsaid proudly and the others with him applauded "thank you sir." and I saluted him "carry on, you can go now in the hall to eat your dinner and theres also medicine there then you can rest." he said "thank you again sir." my answer and started walking towards the hall even I'm dirty I want to eat first ang then rest then also before taking a bath again. Then when I ate I rested for a while before taking a bath, after I took a bath I went again to where the medicines were and took two capsules I took it before going to my tent still no one arrived yet. after I passed the place where the finish line was. When I arrived at my tent I went to my bed immediately. "I know you can pass this training Tin and Jared I believe in you two" I said to myself before I closed my eyes until I was completely asleep. zZzzzZzzzZzz .. ~~~~~~ ¥¥¥¥¥ ~~~~~~
