(Year 1)

Hello Guides! :)

Today we had jihe. First, we had attire check. It went quite well, as our seniors had given us many warnings about standard attire and most of us made an effort to change our attire. After the attire check, we were split into 4 groups, each group consisting of 2 patrols, P1 & P6, P2 & P5, P3 & P8 and P4 & P7.

We were given 10 minutes to get the mu. There was a slight problem as we did not know what was 长木,中短木 and so on. After a while, we managed to figure things out and started on the baggage rack, using the proposal given by the Year 3s as a guide. Some groups couldn't finish making the baggage rack within the approximately 30 minutes time limit so we asked for an extentsion of 10 minutes.

After everyone has completed, we went around all the baggage racks and the Year 3s pointed out our mistakes. For example, we needed to practice our lashes so as to make them tighter and the structure more stable. We should take note of these things pointed out to us, so that we wouldn't repeat the same mistakes during ATC.

We then had PT. It was quite sometime since we had PT and it took a while before we got used to it. The first station was the leg launches. We were required to be in girl's style pumping position/ eg raise while taking turns to do the leg crutches in groups of 4. It was the first time we did leg launches and we realised, although it looked simple, it was actually rather tiring. Constant cheering could be heard and this boosted our morale greatly.

We moved on to the second station which was the wheelbarrow station. We were supposed to be in boy's style pumping position while taking turns to do the wheelbarrow around the level. We could not stay for long and requested to change into girl's style pumping position. This served as a reminder that we needed to train our stamina.

Our final station was at the track. There, we did 20 jumping jacks, 20 sit-ups, 20 pumpings and ran 2 rounds around the track. We aimed to give it our best as it was the last station. Then we went back to the jihe area and had a short debrief. Although we had a strong morale this time, our physical standards were not up to standard. Some of us needed extra practice for pumping and other stuff.

We would try our best to work on our mistakes and to not repeat the same mistakes the next time. Although it was tiring, we learnt alot from today's jihe and hope to correct our mistakes before ATC comes. Jiayou all! :)

Love guides.
