Amry Half Marathon..

So Sad.. Registered for this race and yet i can't take part.. feel so disappointed.. Cos my unit is organising this event therefore have to help out.. Was at Padang since Sat.. was helping out at the bag deposit area.. there are alot of people.. i wasn't given any assigned task as i'm a last min insert.. guess i should have told them i have registered for this race.. but think abt it.. everyone in the unit is busy preparing for this event, how i can possibly not helping and go and enjoyed myself running right? anyway din help much also.. by right there should be a four hours break for dinner but because of some commanders who are late for vetting the bad deposit booth and we had to take turn go for dinner.. what a poor planning.. in the end my guys were very angry and pissed.. in the end zheng an and me went for dinner and we bought pizza for the rest.. stay over night at padang and tok cock throughout the night.. we walked to funan then to esplanade.. there basically nth much to do during the night.. spent 1hr plus beside sg river.. enjoying the sea breeze and toking cock with maurice.. looking over to sheares bridge, saw people preparing the road for the race.. i can't believed that i gonna miss this race.. argh..!! anyway the 1st participant came to our booth at around 3.30am .. wow that was early.. after that wander arn the area.. saw adam and we chatted for a while.. before he went to the starting point.. saw quite alot of sgrunner but too bad i din know their names.. sleep for awhile and arn 6.45am i went to the starting point hoping to witness the 1st few runners.. but too bad i was slightly late by the time i reach there the few runners had already finished.. couldn't believe it.. they are fast.. guess much faster than last year.. was wondering if the route is slightly shorter or what.. was at the finishing line till 8+.. saw alot runners passing through the finishing line.. each time i saw a runner running pass, i imagine myself finishing it..! i really love to participate in this race.. i really feel very sad at that moment.. anyway.. saw a few sgrunner doing well for this race.. saw TLR too.. he was fast.. took a pic with him at the finishing point.. anyway after the race.. was busying packing up.. tot tt we can finished up by 12 but due to poor planning, everything drag till 3+.. it was then where my guys were finally released and really to go home.. was tired.. but overall it was an experience.. a sucky experience..

New Balance Real Run 06

After watching late night soccer, woke up in the morning feeling rather tired.. Jin and Yau stay over at my place.. We ate come bread before i sent jin home.. Jeremey was staying arn tam so i fetch him along to go Sentosa for our run.. i still remembered that last yr there was a huge jam so this yr i tried to wake up early to beat the jam but seem like i have failed.. reached there wah! the Jam was so long.. after for like few minute i quite worried tt we may be late so i drive straight all the way and make one big u turn as i try to enter frm the other side.. after U-turn pick up wei lun and within few mins, we reached the gate of sentosa.. seem like i make a right move.. as usual alot of beautiful girls.. haha.. anyway once i parked the car, we straight away walk towards the starting point.. when we reached the starting point, they flaged off for the open Cat.. the crowded was so huge that it took about to 7mins for the partipants to clear the starting point.. we even had time for our warm-up and toilet break.. can u believe it? Samuel and his friends were late.. so din wait for him.. jeremy, wei lun and i keept close to one another until the 4km mark where we starting to split.. Yau was behind us.. reach the sand area.. and alot of people slow down.. felt so gd as i take this opportunity to overtake them.. was abit irritate as there r people who really walk and doesn't even give way to those who actually wants to run.. for the last 2 km, i increased my speed and dash all the way to the finishing line.. finish the run slightly below 50mins.. was happy with it as my legs just recovered.. but i still felt slight pain in my right knee.. took a can of 100 plus and just walked arn the area.. guess what? i saw Alvin lai.. my sec sch classmate.. so gd to see him.. had a short chat before he went off to look for his friends.. saw quite afew sgrunners too.. Before we left i walked towards them and wanted to chat with a few of the sgrunners.. but dun have the chance cos once i reached there they were preparing to take grp pic.. and i joined them for the grp pic.. lolz..
After the pics session four of us went to the hawker centre opp harbour front and eat then i fetch jeremy and yau home.. Next wk is the AHM.. excited..!! but most likely i'm not running.. Haiz..

NUS Triathlon

What a race..! Swim 1.5km Cycle 60km and run for 15km.. really feel gd abt this race.. really enjoyed myself despite i was walking most of the time for my 15km run.. My dad fetched me to ECP at arn 6.. Went to get my race kit but they couldn't find mine.. in the end they gave me a spare one.. went inside the transition area and layout my stuff.. Prepare finish then went to the start area and do some war-up.. saw TLR and chat with him for awhile.. at arn 0745 my wave started.. as usual kena kicks from all direction.. kinda used to it so it okie.. haha.. swam 3 loops of 500m after which i ran towards the TA.. put on my shoes, top and helmet then dismount my bike.. slowly steady and off i go.. nv tired cycling 60km b4 and i din train for this race also.. the last time i cycled was druing Osim tri and that was 40km.. this time round the cycling route is different.. participants are able to cycle thru esplande area and by-pass suntec.. was really enjoyed myself when cycling although there was stoppages by the TP at most of the critical traffice junction.. somehow the stop destoryed the triathlete momentum and i could hear them complaining.. nvm.. i'm not going for top places also.. haha so i dun really bother.. after cycling for abt like 30km+ seem like i was all by myself for the rest of the cycling leg.. most of them had already or abt to complete the bike leg and only afew of us struggling keeping our bike going.. i took abt 2hr and 30mins to complete the bike leg.. wah kao that was really slow..! hmm.. dismount from my bike and my legs were like jelly.. can't stand properly.. nvm.. mount my bike and then start my 15km running.. abt 200m after the TA saw TLR running back.. wow he was fast.. and the smile on his face shows that 15km is nth to him.. after running for about 4km, i felt the pain on my right knee again.. sibei sianz.. then for the rest 10km+, i was walking and running.. some ladies even ran past me.. wah lau..!! felt so paiseh.. but what to do my knee can go on anymore no point pushing myself too hard also.. in the end took a pathetic timing of 4hr and 40min to finsih the whole race.. this was even slower than my 42km marathon.. anyway was glad that i was able to complete this.. was aiming for under 4hr initially but my knee haiz.. anyway now i just hope that my knee can recover fully.. and all set for the next Sun NBRR..!!
