buta-jaya nite run 2010

after half marathon started at 8.30pm, i warmed up myself together with suresh kumar, after 10 minutes of warming up, i saw a lot of runners were lining up already. by der time i wanted to sneak to der front, it was impossible already. meanwhile i met renu and others and had a chat, and i met william chan too as a 'illegal runner', hahaha..

der race finally started at sharp 9pm, but i was stuck in der human jam, i wasted more than 1 minutes trying to avoid der crowd, i was so frustrated and had to zig zag here and there. i tried to catch up my lost time after 400m, overtook a huge pack of slower runners, der feeling was great when i overtook so many runners in few minutes. but i lost william chan as my pacer as he would use his turbo during der 1st 3km. i found myself to be so tired after 3km, i could feel der heat on my feet and der weather was dry and humid which made everybody suffered a lot. i met nazib in der last 1km, i overtook him and never look back, and dash to der finishing point.

enjoying der moment

i clocked myself 37'19.03 which was 20 seconds behind my PB time in 7.69km, and i got my position 41st.

i was so regret to start at der back, lesson to learn : i must go into der starting 30 minutes before der race start, but i will be cooling down if i do not warm up continously. it is okay, at least i know what to do next time.
