body battered

Completed my first army half marathon yesterday in 1 hr 54mins, never thought it was that hard, went into the race full of comfident thinking of all the triathlon training i have gone through..... this 21km should be easy..... and i was half right to a certain extend. The race itself was setted to be completed within the 2 hrs mark..... and towards the middle of the race.. i changed it to completing it in 1 hr 55mins.... which happily i did acheived it. As i did not clock enough miledge for it, the after effects is devasating.... both my legs feel like breaking! though i didnt get cramps cos my leg is way to skinny and muscle-less to get cramps, but those 2 chop sticks really feel like breaking into 2!

During the race, i ran with a above average speed for the first 11km..... saw my ex safsa incharge..... think he gained a few pounds.... chatted with elaine at the ECP fort road exit..... and saw a few familar faces along the route...... i guess the most tough portion of the race was the ECP run down and the turn around..... seems endless....... especially when u see on the opposite side, where the runners have made the U turn and back into the city area... hoping for that U Turn to come soon... but it didnt look like coming....hahaha.... dragged my fat ass for that portion of the race.... then along the last 3km....... saw CASH KOH on nicol highwway..... wat a good position to see all the shag faces of the runners along that route.....finally... made a final dash towards the finishing line and here you go! my first 1/2 Marathon completed...... straight immediate running reaching the finish line... i grabbed 3 100 plus and headed striaght to the massage the leg department... shiok....

I love my life now.... Hope GOd give me 10 more good yrs in achieving greater hieghts....ahha
