Triathlon: Round 2 Running Summer Camp '22

ROUND 2 LEVEL 2

RPing as Raphael Aveline

French | English

Climbing up the ship was not too hard a task, although Raphael could feel the strain of it in his arms, pushing them further after they were already tiring from the unfamiliar exertion of swimming. None of his usual sports relied much on arm strength, and while he included the occasional set of push-ups in his workout routines, the continuing stress was making itself felt.

Raphael enjoyed it. There was something satisfying in testing his body, pushing himself in ways he usually didn't. Toeing along the lines of what he could do.

The next part, thankfully, promised a break for his arms, focusing instead on something he was actually training on a nearly daily basis. Running, that task should be easy, he'd been building up his endurance steadily over the past year. Running while dodging fiery flowers? Not an issue, either; if he could fly while dodging spells and trees, he should be fine with this task as well.

A glance behind told him he wasn't quite as close to the front of the race as he'd been a moment ago, the delay in his climbing was making itself noticeable, but judging from the number of people still in the water, he was not too worried about securing a spot at the front. Less so since the next obstacle should be right up his alley.

Climbing on the board the ship seemed like much more of a challenge than it actually was. She had gotten used to her being towards the bottom of the pack, but as completions dwindled the girl still managed to keep up. It also meant the competition was fast, though, and good at what they did. Kit would use her energy keeping up with a pack, focused on the end goal of completing the climb. They would be running soon enough and her arms would get a bit of a break. Her body kept moving, a rhythmic cycle as she carried herself up the climb. The impact formed a melody in her mind, focused on both keeping the song going and a reminder to keep making forward progress. She was doing well so far, it would be nice to see that continue. But, she supposed, if it all stopped now- the activity had been pretty fun. The student was curious to see how much she could push herself and what all else was in store. Just- five more levels. Considering four had passed, that was nice progress. Her thoughts collided and dissipated as the rhythmic movement continued and exhaustion started to creep in.

RUNNING LEVEL 1

Nessie was almost surprised that her swimming had been fast enough. She'd just been trying to have a good time! But of course, she did really like swimming, so perhaps it wasn't unexpected that her pace was around the average of the group. After all, there were quite a few competitors ahead of her, and just about as many behind. Nessie liked that, she liked comfortably blending in and not having to worry about standing out. It was nice to feel like she was part of a crowd, that she belonged to something in a way.

The good feelings wore off as Nessie looked up at the climbing she'd have to do and suddenly wished she hadn't swam so fast. Could she return to the swimming laps? She wondered if the organizers would mind but the idea of asking for an exception seemed quite daunting and she certainly didn't want to be a bother. Plus, she'd come this far, could she really turn back now? Nessie was quite curious to find out what she was capable of.

And so, when her turn came, she got ready to attempt to climb, which she didn't expect to enjoy nearly as much as swimming. She rather hoped that she'd be able to get through this quickly, if only to get it over with.

Redoing R1L3 for a third time

As hard as Chiaki had tried to complete the lap, she had still failed. How? She didn't think she was this unfit.

Yet she had still somehow failed. It was disheartening to see so many scaling the ship when she was still paddling pathetically around in the water. At least she wasn't alone.

This time, she had to complete the lap, or she'd be out of the game. And she wouldn't be abe to live that down. She wasn't a quitter.

So, she set off again. Stroke after stroke, one by one. Her arms were burning by now, and her legs felt on fire. She must've swallowed so much water by this point, her breaths were shallow.

In all honesty, she wanted to scream out in frustration at the lack of her abilities. If only she has worked just a little bit harder regarding her physical health.

Ayako-san was so far ahead at this point. Chi was proud of her, there was no doubt about that, but with how badly she was doing, there was no way she'd be able to catch up now and congratulate her until the end.

Nevertheless, she kept on going. She would make it. She had to make it.

Yes!

Haven let out a little cheer as she finally finished the second lap. Her arms were burning, but soon, she would be done with this round and could give her propellers a break. Not too much longer, and she'd be back to frolicking on land. She made the decision that she liked land much better. As it would turn out, swimming competitively during this race was quite the bit different from her usual time out in the ocean. That was typically leisure. Now, she was vying for a price. Well, or at least to finish.

You can do it Haven, she urged herself on. She only had a little further to go... she had to finish now. She was nearly a third of the way through (though she ended up swimming a lot more). It wasn't too much longer that she should be at the finish line! Boy, would she have stories to tell Marcus that night. And her tentmates too! Perhaps over a campfire, with some s'mores! Mm, s'mores... now Haven was getting hungry. Drats. She'd better swim faster, then.

She did her best to swim a little faster, go a little farther. The end was so close, she could almost taste it. Just like that s'more she so wished she could sink her teeth into.

ROUND TWO LEVEL ONE

She tried her hardest to finish climbing up the ladder, she really did, but her arms had just gave in at the very end, they simply were too tired and could not carry on any further, and she fell back into the water. She groaned, frustrated, whenever she reemerged after falling back in. Treading the water gently, taking a breather in an attempt to get her breath and energy back so she could retry.

Pax's words of encouragement did motivate her though. She just had to keep going, keep trying her hardest and pushing herself to do it. It was only climbing up a ladder, and even if she was a tiny bit tired, if she just stayed positive then she could do it. "Okay," she muttered to herself, switching to her native tongue so hopefully no one around could understand that she was whispering a pep talk to herself, "you can do this, Vivi. You've got this! You only need to climb up onto the ship, it's not that hard, and then next round is running, which you're pretty great at. You can do this!"

Pep talk completed, she took another deep breath before attempting to climb up the ladder once again, hopefully this time with more success than the last.
