First Painful Marathon..

I DID IT!!! Too bad that coach paul is gone.. if not i going to show him my Marathon Cert.. That asshole look down on me.. saying i can't do run distance and if i go Marathon, i sure to walk a Marathon..

Anyway, it's my first Marathon and i hope my timing is good for first marathon.. 4hr18min.. kind of sad for this timing.. i could have done better..

Did 5'50 per km for my first 20km then next 10km is doing at 6min per km.. got extra 5min for my whole run.. but when hit 35km.. cramp hit in.. a really bad one.. some more both calf no choice i got to stop and stretch both my calf.. for the next 7km is all walking and running.. push 2km, walk a while.. then push again.. damn painful..

Well like what my coach told me.. there will always be a chance to do a better one.. next year.. i want to train more and longer distance and of cos try all way to avoid cramp..

Race was kind of happening.. saw a couple of MR runners when running.. they were like waving at me when i was opp of them.. Saw the stranger uncle that ran with me at mac and he was calling me so loudly "HEY YOUNG MAN".. he was like at the opp route so it's pretty a loud call.. and he manage to catch up with me.. damn.. he was a distance away from me and he manage to catch up with me..

saw Tan at 35km also.. he couldn't continue running as a pacer as he wasn't that well condition after 4 weeks of rest.. Further up i saw billy.. was shock to see him walking.. show he the sign "why" then know that he's having pain too.. got to walk the rest of it.. there is this water point where i stop to drink water and when i about to go off, there someone saying "GO SEE YONG" and i was like huh who said that.. oh well having name at number tag is a little too.. haha

Well everything coming to a end when reach the last 2km.. pick up speed and i felt that my left feet getting numb but cannot bother with it.. went off fast, post at the finishing line (hopefully the photo is taken) and i saw the stranger uncle just in front of me.. we did 4hr18min.. same timing..

next year.. i got to train harder and do a much better timing.. hmm.. 4hr flat haha.. Oh.. someone going to break PB next year.. kenya timing.. haha right?
