Sunday, August 24, 2008/ 12:51 PM Singapore Bay Run (Army Half-Marathon) haha. before i start anything, let's all pay tribute to the all times great, STEVEN GERRARD! absolutely a cracker, right at the 94th min! liverpool is on its way to the 19th title! (:  it is today! the half-marathon run! woke up like at 4am when most of the ppls are sleeping soundly on their bed? it was frightening. the number of people who participated reached an astonishing of 75000 people. while i was gathering at the starting line, it is simply stressing! all the people are like so big, muscular and tall o.o! ok la, im pretty short thats why. most of the people wearing different kinds of army shirts. oo? i presume that army recruits have to join too? beep. and off we went, setting off from the esplanade. the highway route stretches to a distance of 5km! the organiser put the amount of distance (every 1km) we travelled at certain locations. which was quite cool. aiya it is quite demoralising to see the board stating 5km, which just reminds us of the amount of distance left we have to run. the water point are like quite spam! every 2-3 km there will be 1 water point! even got banana to eat =.= it was east coast park soon after. went deep inside before doing a u-turn at 10km. at 10km my time was like 51min. which was quite good! but after that is GG. at round 12km, there this persistent chest pain and back pain. kao. i cant even run normally la. and there i started walking =.= shit, walking = die. cos i wun feel like running anymore. true enough, i keep running and stopping for the remaining distance. at round 14km, we went into this deserted jungle? only till 19km before we returned to civilisation. the last 1km was funny. they go hang all the very funny banner, hoping to inspire the runners. and this which said, "PERSERVE ON, for your loved ones!" its not like im in the hospital right now. hai, i finished in 2hr 9min. ohman, i failed to reach sub 2 hrs. damn that chest/back pain. i was soooo tired after the run. now got muscle cramps all over my legs! cannot even walk properly now. haha, at least i collected my medal! for finishing the race! 21km that is!  |
