Army Half Marathon 21km

yeah!!! i finish my 21km race with timing of 2 hr 7min 31sec... no idea if it's a good timing...

woke up at 4.30am to have my breakfast and off i go to meet my friend at city hall... it's take some time before there's a cab... hai once again i have to wait for my friend as he will be late... when i was about to pay for my cab fare, qi wen called and ask for my location.. wanted to meet him first but i just can't find him... so i went back to city hall to wait for my friend... after meeting him, we rush to get our bag keep then off we go to the starting point... wanted to go toilet but everywhere is like so pack.. so no choice have to store for a while.. wanted to use the temp toilet when run pass it but there's none oh well have to store till race finish...

i use my friend as my pacer and i thought the pace his running is ok for me but i was wrong.. after seeing ling er and alvin, i know i'm in trouble... the pace is too fast for me... manage to overtake them but when reach around 7km they overtake me back.. from then on i'm on my own running at my pace as my friend went off first... he keep saying that he very long nv run already but end up run so fast... regret following his pace... after 14km.. i almost break down... i keep telling myself not to stop and there just another 7km more... but i did walk.. at least twice i guess... but i didn't walk for so long think the most only 50m... not more then that...

it's my first 21km so i didn't really go for timing but of cos i try not to reach take my time also... i keep telling myself to be back before 2 hr 20min... think it's really help... for the last few km... i really cannot take it anymore.. feel like walking back to the finishing line.. but of cos i didn't... manage to push myself on... this race is really very mental torture for me... finally i finish my 21km!!! can't wait to collect my medal.. i really shag until cannot think and talk well...

after collecting our bag.. we went for breakfast.. and i was like.. leg so pain.. like want to cramp like that... wanted to eat the mac at msq but it's too pack liao so we force ourself to walk to suntec just to enjoy mac breakfast... haha already so tired liao still think of mac... after eating i went to get my hair cut at tpy and headed back home to rest... i need rest!!!

i have achieve my goal for this year which is compete 21km!!! 1 down 2 more goal... getting the medal is just a thing... finishing the race with good timing and will power is the main goal for me
