adrian's 3rd "race"!!

so i gate-crashed today's ahm...and guess what i got at the finishing pt...
apparently the guy handing out the medals didnt notice i was missing a number tag...hohoho...

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper crowded at the start pt today...by the time i reached there i was way at the back with the non-competitive 21km group...the competitive one was flagged off earlier...there was no way i could squeeze to the front...

even after the non-comp. 21 was flagged off, i had to walk like a few min before i even passed the start point...it was THAT packed...and after that there was no way of running fast fast with all the human traffic...everyone was at crawling speed...i had to zig zag here and there to negotiate my way pass other runners...

left knee was abit painful today...but still bearable...got hungry after leaving east coast park...ohoh...the funniest thing today shld be how some of the runners just ran straight to the huge longkang at the side once entering ecp and started to pee...i was also one of those pee-ers...hehe...high tide...

so apart from the human traffic...there was also the car traffic...there were many junctions where the traffic police had to stop us to let the cars move...i think i was stopped about 5 times...

so anyway the official timing was 1hr 51min...my watch read 1hr 47min...but with all the numerous stops and slow crawl at the beginning i would say i can take 5min off my watch timing no? haha...

but all in all i was very pleased with my run today...i actually ran non-stop!! when i did ahm during my army days i think i stopped dunno how many times...still, today's run was veeerrryy tiring...i can just imagine how 42km will feel like...

woopie
