When : 2nd August 2009
Where : Stadium Shah Alam , Shah Alam
Distance : 21.71km (YS Lee GPS) & 11km
My Timing : 62'35.09 (11km)
this was one of der most difficult road race i have done with so many up & downhills along der entire 11km, i do not know what is der exact distance but i m sure it is more than 11km. i have juz recovered from sick since last sunday, in addition der weather condition was hazy, dry & vehicles around, i could hardly perform well. imagine if i ran 22km today, i think i could not be able to come back to der stadium.
i started with a very fast pace since i was lining up der front row, i pushed too hard to avoid der crowd after awhile i felt very tired, i slowed down my pace immediately then i felt better. unexpectedly, there was a long stretch in der beginning cause me breath harder, and i felt more tired then. after chen pong pong 'sayur-ed' me in around 2km mark, i felt like i was left behind and i had no more intention to continue anymore. awhile later, ghejan overtook me from behind.
i was lucky that adam loh who paced me in 5th km, eventhough i was very struggled but at least he let me follow, he asked me do not push too hard and i will do better. later on i was slowing down and felt my body not really could run anymore. going to der finally long stretch when i saw abang sham overtook me again in der last 1km. i wanted to follow him but i could not. going into der stadium, somemore must go through der tunnel, der tunnel like oven man! i pushed all der way to der finishing line with no eyes to see!
mr and mrs khoo saw me and asked me :
running and walking, which is more difficult?
i replied :
when i have done running
i would say running is difficult!
but when i have done walking,
i would say walking is difficult!
everybody looked at me and ask me why am i so suffer, in fact i juz need more 100 plus and oxygen, almost pengsan in der stadium. overall i enjoyed der race, well organised, juz that der wastage of giving out bottles of water not really impressed me.
charging power
looking for toilet
no eyes to see
rushing to finish!
