Last day of the year..

31 Dec 2006 - Hari Raya Haji and ultramarathon.

Kev finished the 1st lap earlier than me and waited somewhere along the road, near the finish line to take pictures of me coming in minutes later.. Then, after the short break, we ran the 2nd lap together. This year's run was a bit tough . Maybe because i didn't prepare for it. In fact in all the running competition, i hardly train for any of it. I just whack only. The most important thing is to be able to finish the race. But last Sunday's run was really cialat. Wanted to give up after the 2nd lap, to follow kevin home.

The 3rd lap, I was still going strong until going into 4th lap, when i felt the presence of a girl,with a blue umbrella walking behind me. Looked back, noticed a familiar runner, so i decided to make friend. Her name is Joey, 23 yr old.
We ended up walking and talking throughtout the 10.5km ++ ( they say this distance is longer than what it is supposed to be, cos of the landslide.. the route has changed and i hate it. got to go thought the steps..No wonder, it felt like "cannot make it")
We took about 3hrs to reach the start point.. and by then we were so damn hungry.
We sat awhile, re-fuel and at time it was like about 4pm. We almost wanted to give up.. cos our legs could take it. We didn't even want to try to run a bit. Leg too painful liao.. killer.. cramp.. head also cramp.. felt sleepy.... stress..

After some encouragement from the committee, we set off for our final 5th lap around 415pm. Reached at 7km around 6, and we decided to run slowly starting from the water point along the road. No matter how painful.. die die must reach before 6-45pm.

We quessed that we were the last 2 to complete 5 laps, so we decided to hold hands to finish together in style. We finally did it. What a relieve!


in 2004, my first ultra timing was 11hrs 41 min
2005- 10 hrs 01min
this yr ... 11hrs 30 mins.
Next yr.. may not want to take part already..

Didn't have time to wait for my cert cos i need to rush to my parents' house for hari raya , and then to Juli's open house latest by 10pm.. and lastly for countdown at Sentosa. With muscle aching all over the body,especially the lower limb.. and was up since 5am , I was like so stoned when i finally got to rest! What a way to end 2006!
