woahz...finally completed my first pure running comp this yr!anywayz,it was a 10km x terrain run.6km road,1.6 sand,2.4 trek.well,im super duper shagged now.woke up earli in the morning to get the first bus to get onto the first NEL train in the morning and i freaking slept like near 1am.good job man.
met mauricette ellie lek and zebin over at harbourfront and we walked over.was asking mauricette wat should be the avg guy timing for a comp like this lolz.she said 50mins or so should be quite avg lah.so in my mind i was aiming for below 50 mins and i'll be damn happy since i didn't even train.well,oki,i did run 5km on mon and that's all if u call that training.did even have a proper feel of a 10km pace and i started off quite fast.till 4km mark i realised i should slow down abit and might probably die out at the sand part.indeed when i reached the sand part,i was quite shagged but i keep telling myself that i cannot stop and walk.i must complete the run no matter wat and im not supposed to walk at any one part.i kept telling myself that and luckily i realli didn't stop at all.when i reached the water point,i basically told myself i should not take any water also since its like a station whereby most ppl will just slow down or stop for water and once u stop,u cant start man.slowly work my way up to the faster pack.the start point was a mess.wild roads but still clogged by the no of runners.anywayz,when i came back i saw my timing on the board which is calculated base of the sounding of the air horn.it was 45:06.i felt pretty happy with the timing and i realli ran my hearts out and i didn't stop.off course there was an internal motivation that kept mi going that i managed to come back below 50.zebin was great man.he came in sec under the Home Team category with a approx timing of 39mins.his damn fast lahz.well,there's ppl in the veteran category that even beat mi wit their timings lolz.but then again,that's the price to pay for disrespecting the competition in a sense.shag and lousy timing compared to other older experience runners with little or no training.
well,thx to mauricette for informing me regarding the penthalon thingy that obs will be coming up with and im interested to join the comp man!besides that,lek will be running half marathon next sun.im thinking of joining him then go down to climb asia for some climbing.but then again,his joining the competitive cat whereby he get to start nearer to the start line to prevent jamming up of runners.and he told mi if i were to go,i most probably have to stand rite at the back whereby most ppl is there just to walk.last yr he walk abt 8-9km before he got a chance to start running!!!shall check with him regarding the timing again and see if i can go and time myself.besides that,rice is going tahan and she's asking lisa this and that.shall wait for her tahan trip and listen to her story man.anywayz,my CJ ODAC junior went for the comp today also and a couple of girls did pretty well.but then,still not good enough to beat more experience runners.like wat mr lim say,the standard of the competition is high and we gotta train harder to improve ourselve if we wanna win.met a couple of ppl over at the run.ppl like kenneth,mingkiat,lawerence and a few unidentified ppl which i think i met in NTU before.anywayz,i think i gotta stop here liaoz...feeling sick and need to rest early.will update the fotos asap.
