My last Crossy…

Huff Puff Puff “ Common you can do it, just a little more”. The institute crossy is 7 km long and a truly amazing race. 1^st year weighing 92 kilos it was a Herculean task of even running 3 km of this race. Looking at seniors peacefully running back and forth of the freshie column was a major source of admiration.

The route the crossy takes is very scenic going pat the sameer hill(which is a huge pain running up) and then finally past the Powai lake ending in the gymkhana.

With a position of 49 in the main crossy in my freshie year was a great beginning . over years I dropped to better positions like 36 in 2^nd year and 19^th in my third year. My final year crossy was jinxed with me going home for the first race and then missing the second due to some stupid people in the sports body who forgot to call me for the crossy.

Running the crossy in the monsoons is a great experience. There is always a fine drizzle and gulping down the fresh ozonated air is worth waking up at 6 in the morn.. :P
