Adidas Sundown Marathon...

An event i waited since 3 months ago...trained myself for the passed 2 months(but the last month became lazy), finally the day has come. the distance that i need to cover is 42.125km. i used about 6hrs 39mins to finish. used all my might and strength, from darkness until almost bright, finally i saw the finished line, with hwa side by side, together both of us passed it with joy. so happy we have made it till the end.for the first 18km i ran without stopping, only slow down on two stops to have a drink. it was a bad decision at 18km which i think that walking a while will boost up my strength. when i started to run a while, my old frens all came back to find me...muscle cramps!it hurts so much that i have to walk all the way till 21km. during this time, leong and hwa catched up with me. together we walked and walked till around 30km as all of us faced cramps. from 30km, tried to run, but only can reached 33km. this time is not cramp that make me stop. it was the pain at my foot and my knee. ohh..wat a torture...from 33km, me and hwa walked all the way back to the finish line. leong while running do not have any problem, so he proceed all the way till the end. although hoe is the last to start but he was the first to reach among us.

anyway, as we completed the race, we got a medal and an extra finisher t-shirt. maybe i can show to others that i have join such a race b4 but to me it is not glory as i walked half the race.it was not my stamina that fails me but it is my leg.
after the race, all i know is PAIN.both of my legs seems not to be mine any more. dont say walk, stand also got problem. nasib today my job do not require me to go on board if not, i dunno how to die...
if there is a chance for me to run 42.125km again, i really have to think twice, ermm..no, a least twenty times..anyway, it is still a good experience. although i lost to many people in the race but i'm still leading in front of many people..hahahaha...although paid $60 for this race i think is quite expensive, but overall it is still cheap as we got 2 adidas t-shirt.

oh fyi, the first person who passed the finish line for 42km just use 2hrs and 30++ mins. and for ultramarathon, he just used 7hrs++. omg..they gotta be kidding hor...hahaha...i read these info from today's nst.
