woke up and rush everything..
reached Bedok Mrt at 5.50am..
waited until 6.10am..
"the first train going towards Pasir Ris will arrive at 6.40am"
the announcement went off..
and i remembered clearly that Felix told me that the last shuttle bus to leave Pasir Ris for Changi Exhibition Centre is 6.45am...
i was stunned..
called Felix and asked if there is another way to Pasir Ris..
bus service 17 is the answer and immediately after he hung the call.. 17 came..
i broad it and wait patiently..
i think this is the longest duration that i have someone waiting for me..
well well..
i reached Pasir Ris at near 7 but there was still the very very last shuttle bus there..
two of us were the last to board that bus..
dropped off 3km to CEC... we took sometime to walk to the start point..
but before we start the race.. we need to deposit our belongings..
everything set and we saw the timer... 10min+ already!!!
damn.. lol..
but there are many other late comers too
and so i went for my best...
first part was the terrain route..
my feet was damn painful.. the knees are much hurt too
lots of stones and rocks on the ground.. and this is the part where i need to overtake..
it was like hell.. haha..
reached the tarred ground..
felt much better.. but the effect of the terrain run was still there..
reached 6km.. i saw Nash running back the loop already
(fyi: there is 2 loops for 15km runner)
next was the beach run..
running on the sand is suffering!!! man!
tried to run fast through but it was impossible with the soft sand covering the beach..
good experience though.. learnt that running on sand sucks.. and running on beach is much better if you run just beside the water
back on the tarred ground..
its the last part..
the same route that Felix and i need to cover just before the race..
haha...
met up with Nash, Rahman and Nicholas after Felix arrived..
Rahman, Me, Felix, Nicholas and Nash
im so unglamorous.. cos i pinned my number on my shorts and ran half-naked..
Mr Yong was there too...
he won the Men's Open 7th Position at 59mins
and Nash won the Men's Junior 11th place at 1hour8mins
well well.. im only 1hour30mins.. still got much to train..
haha..
its A Level time!
later
