New Balance-Real Run 2006

OK…the BIG DAY. Remember, my virgin marathon competition. Somehow, the drinks yesternite made me sleep better where I need to wake up at 5am. So, woke up around 4.50am and quickly freshen up. Had 1 banana and 1 glass of water. Reached the pick up point at Tampines MRT station at 5.25am. Reached Sentosa at 6.45am. Bryan reached there liao. Changed…prepare…get ready…and warm-up session. The race started exactly at 7.45am…for Men’s Open. There’re also women’s open, women JR, men JR, women veteran, men veteran and some team category too. Walau…I tell you, the feeling…I almost fainted an wanna died…just after like 3km…I wanted to stop but nobody stop le…forced myself to carry on…big mistakes…Bloody hell, the supposedly ‘road surface’ was actually lots of going upslope. The sand surface also another killer. You will feel like falling because of the sand. But surprisingly, I manage to over-take many people at this section…’coz lots of people actually slow-down here. Haiz…then back to road…back to sand and finally went on to trail. My god, by now, I really really wanna totally stop…but saw many old men kept on walking le...so, because of my bloody pride…forced myself to keep in running. In the end, finished the race for 10km (Road: 6km / Sand: 1.6km / Train: 2.4) at 57min & dun know how many seconds. Not bad right…thanks to my few times speeding…to payback for all my resting / walking time. But…the feeling when I crossed the finishing line…superb. Some kind of achievement…something like you finish your last exam paper and waling out of the hall…Well, that’s about it...my virginal marathon race…Hang around for the lucky draw…but no luck. Reached home at 12plus…by taking bus / train. Damn fucking tired. Can’t take my afternoon nap some more because of the owner’s around to fix something in the house. Followed by some housework’s…So, here I am…preparing to have a good rest…hopefully can wake up tomorrow…
