Wheeeee! Just got back from the 10km run. Muahaha , I've beat my previous timing for all my training. 10.4km in 54 mins =)
There's also this cool timing chip which you stick/tie unto your shoe which will become a slight problem later on in the run.
I paced someone throughout the run. lol i was in front for 7km. Slipstream effect for the other fella. =( I no gas le she still can run off...
I'm quite busy so I'll jus give a quick simple itinerary.
ITINERARY
[ Before the Race ]
Joined the wrong group for the run. Blindly followed the crowd to the section for 15km. Thank God my mom spotted me and called out to me. Duh...
[ 1km - 6km ]
Woohoo! found someone to pace with. Went at good pace at 5mins/km.
Overtaking plenty of people. Hundreds i tell ya.
[ 6km ]
Legs burned with every step I took.
[ 7km]
My pacing buddy overtook me, nv to be seen again.
[8km - 9km]
Omg omg I'm dying, where's the finishing line?!
Took a 3 secs break to recuperate.
[ 10 km]
"THERE! I SEE IT!!!'
[50m away from FL]
*sprints like there was no tmr*
There was this guy cheeering for me. Probably cause I was sprinting really fast.
[ 2m away from FL]
Right shoe comes off at a sharp turn due to the uneven platform.
Decides to finish that 2m then come back to pick my shoe.
[Finishing line]
*looks back* *looks down* O.O"
"OMFG, the timing chip is on my right shoe (which is left behind)"
[ 2m away from FL]
*picks up shoe and stare at 2 guys run past JUST 2 METRES AWAY FROM THE FINISHING LINE!!*
[Finishing line (again)]
Wooootss! I completed it faster than my training!
Guy 1: Are you ok? Do you need medication assistance?
Me: No...
Guy 1: Do you need to rest?
Me: What do ya think?
[Goodie bag area]
*Breathes heavily*
Guy 2: You feeling ok?
Me: Yup, I'm alright
*grabs goodie bag*
[Before Drinks corner]
Guy 3: Are you alright?
Me: Yes... (For goodness sake, stop pestering me people, I'm jus dam tired)
*ask guy for a drink*
[Drinks corner]
*grabs 2 cans of 100 plus and chugs it down*
Guy 4: Are you ok?
Me: ...
[Resting Corner]
Super 'bu gan yuan' about my shoe flying off...
*Gulps more 100 plus*
[In the middle of nowhere]
Sat down and relaxed and calculated how much seconds i wasted in my embarrassing act. 7 secs I think. Realized that my face would look bleached-pale after the run. No wonder everybody kept asking.
[some forsaken place under the shades]
Squeeze my singlet and was awed seeing water or erm... sweat dripping down.
Hmph, so much for a cool looking ending. Sprinting after a 10km run. everybody would be like looking at me running fast. And then?! And then?! Everybody sees my shoe flying off my leg, me looking back with a "omg what shud i do? look, then running off with only a shoe, ALL JUS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FINISHING LINE.
I cannot emphasize any further how stupid that was.
