der Pacemakers Circuit Run 1 - Report

i had a wonderful experience for 1st time in 28km, i have not had ran such a long distance in training or competition, i felt great to finish der race even i juz ran very slow. somehow i think i should run 30km at least twice b4 going for 42km in SCKLM, guess circuit run helps!

i started quite slow at der 1st loop with a group of frenz of kenny tan, suresh, steven khoo and others with talking pace bcoz still have long long way to go in der killing staircase and hills, my timing for 1st loop was 16 minutes. during 2nd and 3rd i was juz maintain der same timing. 4th loop my timing was a little bit slower, here came marvin and kelvin ng to pace with me so that i wouldn't feel too tired bcoz i had someone to talk to. 5th loop i really need to have some water b4 climbing up staircase, der staircase absolutely killing part for me. however i need to keep on running without stoping so that my pace could be maintained. however during der 6th loop, my timing was very much slower bcoz my feet was lacking of energy, and this was der very suffer moment that i was going to have. marvin stopped after 6th loop, and kelvin stopped after 7th loop, so i had to pace with ppl in front of me and tried to follow them but i ran slower and slower. meanwhile, i was very worry der water station would be run out of water, this thing happen in my mind while i was running, luckily volunteers bought extra water from shops, thanks to ryan, kelvin and william chan for buying water. very exhausted during der 9th and 10th loop, required a lot of effort actually, my mental almost dowm liao, and no matter what i must finish without stopping. with a lot of sufferness, finally i had finished 28km!

seriously i had learned 1 very serious mistake, i should not underestimate der number of coton of water and 100 plus bought, i think this was der major mistake i have made. everything must prepare extra, for instance, safety pins, bibs etc.. next circuit will be better. organising races definitely not easy, can say very pressure, especially one day b4 der race day. i had travel here and there collecting this and that, ensure everthing is alright, i have to do all these alone! haiz... hmmm.. i have confidence next circuit run will be better...
