Adidas Sundown Marathon 2009

Ytd, completed the 10km Sundown Run!

Here's how it goes for my race...

I did a prayer for completion and safety before my race started!

When they say " 3... 2... 1.... Go! " then the horn went off

im still standing where i was =_=, the crowd wasn't even moving till a moment later...

when i am at the start point i saw the crowd runnin in front.. so immense...

Crossing the scanner at the start point, 'beep', here it goes! MY own paced RACE.

I nvr tried before but i keep on zig zag between the crowd trying to keep at my own pace..

suddenly came the aroma smell of the bbq squid from the pits, it startled everyone, some even comment " wah, BBQ Squid im so hungry now!" even i myself had to slurp up my saliva...

Nonetheless i have to concentrate on the race..

I kept my focus at the furthest distance i can see, kept running towards it...

There was a slight drizzle, which i thought would develop into a shower but.. it stopped

After a few turns... i tot " ok la, should be at the 4km mark liaoz"

after some time.. my jaw dropped for a moment , signboard of " 4KM " appeared =/

There were race encouragers cheering on as the crowd ran pass them, but most runners were so concentrated on their own race and didn't borther about the encouragers.

Then came the " 350m U turn ahead " and the " 5km U-turn "

The water point came around the "6km" signboard, but that didn't stopped me..

My mental was "Run to the Finish! All the way" and prayed at the same time as im completing the last 4km of the race..

Finally came the "9km" signboard, thats where i pick up my pace, stretching out my stride.. all the way to the finish..

At the finishing point, i slow down and walked abit before turning back and looked at the timeboard stating "1:01:36"

After a while i hear the winner of the womens 10km came in at 36mins ++, jaw dropped the second time =_=

my slow timing though but i still finished the race.. =D

walked to collect isotonic drink, plain water, finisher medal, visor and a banana.. then i went to get my bag.. and waited for my friend to finish...

After that changed my clothes and Head home after a nice dessert! =D
