Army Half Marathon 2009

Was up early for AHM today... reach there 45min early, planned to reach there at least 1hr early but lucky i didn't cos i clear my stomach before heading over... deposit my bag and off i go to the TOILET!!! toilet is always the last place to visit before race... when reach the toilet, saw alvin and qiwen and ya got to join them in the queue... first time i queue so long for toilet.. thank to whoever that lock the toilet, gal toilet was open but not guy so we got to queue handicap toilet... head to starting line with qiwen and alivn... as usual starting line is full of people and lucky we manage to get to the front just that we got very little space to stretch... race started 6min early... head off with my own pace not going to follow qiwen cos too scare of his running feeling haha.. always chiong first then behind relax...

manage to find someone with constant pace so ya just follow behind her.. running route was fine this year... best is at east coast though got one path we got to run in the dark. 10km timing was 51min was aiming for 52min so ya just nice... to the end of the race i was damn confident that i can do a sub 1hr 50min timing cos the pacing and timing is just as i plan... saw mr tan and start waving at him but he doesn't seem to see me so i run in front of him then think he saw the r2unner logo then he catch up with me.. slow down a little to wait for him but i can't seem to find my pacer.. shit.. gain some speed and lucky manage to see her... there is this u turn point is happen to be a slope, before entering the place i was like thinking omg got to climb slope... shit.. drank some water then head off to the slope.. there's this DAMN MP motorbike, when i passed by i was thinking u better not sound your siren but when about to pass the bike.. damn it..he sounded it...

ran all the way then it's getting nearer.. think it's time to gain speed and off i go passed the pacer i been following and as i turn in around city hall that area, i thought it's going to end then i chiong all the way but shit.. not yet... a bit tired from that so got to go a bit slow... then again i thought going to finish then once again i chiong.. hai.. and again.. well.. this time i start to chiong when i see the finish board.. shit lor.. 1 hr 50min 22 sec damn 23 sec to what i really aim.. but well did better than last half marathon.. think seriously my race experience still not enough.. that why a lot of mistake and i seriously need to learn my pacing well..
