My objectives were to raise money for charity, get 25 times around the oval (10,000 meters) and as collective travel the distance from Pattaya to Phi Phi Island. This event was organized by the PE department of The Regents School. Any money collected would go to charity Koh Phi Phi Laem Tong Resource center project from the Monten Sea gypsy village. This event Kind of came out of no where so I quickly assembled to team, we were aloud to skateboard, Cycle, roller blade, run and swimming.
It was a tough event especially taking a toll on my overall fitness but I managed to just complete the task of 10,000 meters. As a collective, we completed The pattaya to Phi Phi challenge quite quickly in in fact in the space of 4 hours we had done this 5 times back and forth, making a total distance travelled of 6,171 km. We also raised quite a lot for the Koh Phi Phi project.
In my personal goal of perseverance and determination to go 25 times around the oval was a tough challenge for me but I kept going when I thought I couldn't go no more and in my final 2 laps I suddenly had a burst of energy and ran to the finish my goal with a strong finish. I didn't run into any particular difficulties except the challenge itself wasn't so easy.
The activity shows how perseverance and determination can overcome challenges and obstacles. The attitude of never giving up can only be within us and if we don't embrace this we won't feel success because they is no such thing as an easy task and if so then you're not doing well. Going through the pain and persevering makes the accomplishment that much sweeter. I can take this lesson learn't into mentality of anything I set my mind on and as an ambitious young man to get the mentality to succeed.
