i'm exhausted.
the 21km is really gruesome. torturing. think there's a possibility of me collapsing during the 42km if i dun train well. besides having good stamina and good muscle endurance, u need to be able to squeeze through the crowd too. there are so many pple. the race started and i reached the start line 15min after the timing started. in addition to my lack of sleep, my hamstrings are still tight. i really doubt i can finish the journey without stopping to walk, but i did it. i stopped over for drinks. they provide isotonic drinks too, but they made me more thirsty after drinking them. so gotta stop for plain water every other stop. in the beginning i was squeezing pass the rest, towards the end, pple are running pass me. so i came out with an egoistic principle to push me through: "there should not be any ponytail in my sight." so when i see one, i'll try to overtake. except for one, small ponytail. i nearly cant catch up with her. her steps were so constant, she came pass me a while after i ran pass her. salute to her. till i find some space in front of her and push myself forward... at last i got rid of tt small ponytail. and i was near the finishing line. striding through the last 100m, i clocked 1hr 58min for my own record.
i felt like crumpling down... but it's a public event huh, n i'm wearing the 9 div singlet, so just stood ard, looking for our gathering spot. settled down, relaxed, waited for the other 3 runners fr my coy to come back. then went to marina square for breakfast at burger king. after which i carried on with my 2nd exhaustive activity: beach volleyball at sentosa. changed my mind to go home when i found out tt all the rest were late. luckily bryan was already on his way, so i took the train back to harbour front and met up with him. next came auggie, and we took a ride on kenneth's cab into sentosa. the weather was good. a while later came wei zhan and friend, elwin. followed by albert the chia. and there was kenneth's friend, melissa. i played a few games only, really exhausted. but really enjoyed the games. the coordination was good for most of the time. went off at ard 5 plus. had dinner at marina square food court. talk cock over dinner. recalling the days in ocs, those were the days in roc and brunei. headed home after dinner, coz dun wanna spend too much.
reached home at ard 10pm. juz managed to unpack my bag. knocked out straight for more than 10hrs.
received cherin's sms warning about the course in rdi. some lousy lecturer and the heavy work load, i'm gonna suffer again. thanks ger. tt woke me up at ard 10am. but i laze till 1pm. i'm still in agony. still going for wushu training later...
