The sun wasn't up yet. BUT I WAS THERE.
No food or drink. BUT I WAS THERE.
Then 730am... Let the race begin!
Whaha! this is the first marathon that I enjoyed so much. Like what they say.. It is pretty back to basics. Not much of welfare or perks like stan-chart marathon. (It's ok but at leasthave more water point?) There isn't a race pack to start with.. just number tag collection.
BUT.. BUT... The race was good, enjoyable and competitive. Yes. Competitive and smooth going. Not like stan-chart where many people just walk and enjoy scenery, blocking the way, starting to run only 5 mins after the flag off due to human jam.
This race is different. Everyone is crazy. When I reached, I started making new friends, only to realise that I am surrounded by professional bikers. This is my first race where I tried to run cool too! I brought a pair of sunglass. I put on gloves, my adizero shoes, cool prowell helmet and of course, my super new racing bike with a small pillow attached to it-given by my girlfriend (To wish me luck what!)
I wont go into the details of the race but all I can say is that I've enjoyed it (hey got some girls quite pretty in that sporty outfit) and I did my very best. My runs were damn good. 1St leg was like 41.5 mins for 10km. That was better than my personal best! it was the biking that slows me down. My bike $900 only.. look at those angmohs with some super expensive bikes that can fly...
In total I took 3hrs for 10km-40km-10km run-cycle-run.
The other exercise was...... Cycling my way from home(hougang) to Changi Coast road and later, my way back.
Cool (but hot day) man! I really love my day. Ok back to revision.
2 papers down, left with 4 more.. way to go.
