Post SCSM 08
this race was much better than the sundown. didn't felt like dying along the way and the end seem to arrive faster than i expected. probably cuz there was distance markings every kilometer making countdown easier. And yea, i realise counting down after the 30km mark makes the race easier to handle then counting up. still there were a few "glitches" along the way.
everything went right until the 23km mark when i really really had to go to the toilet to shit. after that, can't run cuz after shitting felt a bit giddy so walk until 25km then started running..
then came the foot and calves cramps.. zzz cant go too fast if not the cramp will start to creep upon the foot. ouch. the deep heat didn't seem to work for the calves, but it worked for the knees though.. there wasn't any pain at all after i slapped tons of the cream on the knees area. the pain was more concentrated on my foot which I can't reach to apply the deep heat. Too lazy to stop and take off my shoes, apply, then put them back on.
Lesson learnt: apply lots of deep heat on the knees, calves and FEET before the race. and lots of stretching..
so walk-run until i reach the finishing point. Ran past the grand stand of NDP (not sure what that place is called).. was super windy so decided to speed up a little for that stretch. managed to pull through but had to stopped at the esplanade. oh ya did i mention the numerous ferraris and maseratis along the way back.. new show room tuck away in some ulu corner.. i wonder how they get any business..
didn't see a lot of ppl, only saw mightymouse21 and irene along the way...
will i be joining next year? yes.
