left the house at 5a.m. to head to taiping. it rained heavily on the way there and it still rained when we got there. gosh, running in the rain, it was the first time for me.
and it was not running that i did, i think it was more to puffing and huffing and pushing myself to reach the finishing line. it was horrible. i think i have never run so badly, ever.
we were let off from the field. the whole field was flooded! eeewwwww!
hence, before reaching the road, the shoes were already soaked wet. then it was squishing all the way from then on. i was not on form at all. i even stopped twice to walk. malunya.
the stomach started to have burning sensation after 3km and a nagging pain came on the right side. haiz.....
still, i had to finish the run and i did. i was telling myself, 'try lah to get into top 10, at least there will be a medal'. so top 10 i did get into, well, i got no 9, but medal? chaik! this year they only prepared for top 5 winners. AARGGHH!!! in the registration information, it was stated that 10 runners would get the medals! last year, i also got no 9 and mom and aunt both exclaimed, 'no 9 again' when i told them my result. waaa...it was already good that i got into the top 10 loh. it was really the most difficult run i have experienced.
luckily there was still the medal from the group event. the female team from my district emerged second. not bad lah.
my legs had a good 5km workout lah. and i got to see taiping war cemetery. i have always wanted to see that place.
hmmh....i wonder if there will be next year. the ladies in the top 5 are really good. the first prize winner went and took part in all the marathons she could find this year. she was in a different league.
i guess i will only decide when next year comes.
reached tm at 1.30pm. was very tired but still could not take a nap because the body was not used to taking nap in the afternoon.
ok time to sleep now.
