started to run at 530 am. the pace was good. me and my friend ran at 6 minutes per km. but at 7 plus km, which was at east coast park, i lost him because he went to shit. and so i was on my own throughout the rest of the race. :(
at 18 km my legs start to gave away. had severe cramps at my thighs. and after that at my calves. cant even run. i dun even dare to stop to stretch. so i just walk the remaining 3 km, and finished the whole 21 km in 2 hours 12 minutes 20 seconds. my legs were cramping so bad that at the last 20 metres i wanna make a dash to the finishing line to mark a grand finale but the moment i open up my legs i feel a sharp pain and have to walk again. haiz so 遗憾. i am going to run again next year!!! and i am going to train hard so that i wun have cramps for the last 3 km!
the morale-boosting performances throughout the run was not bad! got pple dress up as transformers which i think is quite comical. some runners even stop running to take pictures with them. AND THERE IS A SMALL GROUP OF CHIO SEXY BELLY DANCERS. they are at the 19 km mark. i was already having cramps, so this give me sufficient reason to walk slowly and watch their performance. hahahahaha.
and at the 20 km mark, one uncle jog past me and encourage me to persevere on and even ask me to follow him and finish the run with him. i was so touched and asked him to go ahead cos i seriously cant run anymore.
collected my finisher's medal and went to the big grass area to look for leow chee leong and my pe classmates. but the first person i saw was MAJ Joshua. so we catch up a bit and shortly later mr leow found me. and its a good thing that he found me, cos he can be my cameraman!!! hahahaha. this kind of occasion of course must take picture.
we walked to bugis to have a celebration meal. as it was still quite early, most of the restaurants were still not open. dun feel like eating mac or bk or kfc breakfast. so we went to swenson for pancakes. yes i noe not much difference. haha. except the price is a bit more expensive.
lastly, let me present to you again, my number tag and finisher medal for AHM 2009:
