The Beep Test (25/10/2023)


Today, we did the beep test in HPE. My score was 4.4, which was disappointing for me as my record is 6.7. However, I may have achieved this score because we were outside in 11 degrees Celsius, and as i had a whole cup of noodles for lunch. The Beep Test, also known as the 20 meter shuttle run, is a test that tests one's fitness level. With the "Beeps" decreasing in time between them, you have to run continuously faster.

Today, after the events on Wednesday, we were finally able to complete the Beep Test. This time, I got a score of 4.8, which was still quite disappointing for me, but the pesky shoelace struck again, making me fall at around 4.6, at which point after 2 more shuttles I decided to give up. The highest score in our class was something around 10.2, which is quite an unbelievable number if you do the maths. In each "major node" there are 8 shuttles, each totaling 20 meters, and 20 x 8 = 160. 160 x 10 = 1600, which is 1.6 kilometres! Half a cross-country run!

As a proud Asian (not stereotyping) I played badminton, and it was lots of fun! We played a tournament for best Asian, and I failed miserably! Although, it was still lots of fun!
