ok! update on tj duathlon!
woke at an early 5.30 to have milo and bread! i hate eating shortly after i wake up, especially if i don't see the sun. haha then cabbed down to soedar's house and set off to ECP!
saw many roadbikers, and guys wearing imba tights and shoes and gear. chen shao the informant told us that they were quite strong! hahaha and suddenly any hope of winning was lost. lol..
the race began pretty much on time.. and it was so scary! everyone was like making a mad dash forward, like competing in a 1km race. i quickly ended up into the middle of the pack even though i started right at the front with kai sheng, the legendary runner. hahaha.
shall not bore u with the details of the first leg! came back at a notable
21:55 though. so i thought that i was overly fast cos my fastest yet was just 23min. =p scared i wldnt have the energy to complete the 2nd leg of 5km.
while waiting for nicky to come back, i went around to chill with soedar when we saw a guy on mountain bike returning! which sent us into panic mode and waited for our partners' return at the transition area. turns out that guy only completed one lap instead of two. -.- lame...
so.. soedar and i saw chen shao zooming towards the final turning point first. followed by nicky and dt! nicky was pretty close to chen shao at that time.. about +1min behind only.. so when i saw daryl returning instead of nicky after chen shao, i was set into total shock. i thought that nicky had fell down, which wld kinda mean GG for us.. haha turns out that he had thigh cramp, and went into a wrong fork. and that set us back from position 2 to position 6.
and came the final run! i dunno what i was thinking, but i was just running, and running and running! my heart was pounding, my lungs were screaming, and my poor feet were burning! and i actually felt like puking while returning! shortly caught up soedar, and eventually the other runners, one by one.. damm shiok to overtake ppl =) and then i saw a lightning blue guy in front.. the legend.. hahaha.. just when i caught up with him and overtook him by abit, he decided to switch on to full gear and went on to do his famous 400m sprint.. and then.. GG.. hahahaha no energy to sprint already. =p
well, at least i came back at
20:33! fasttttt mannnn... i didn't know i could do that kind of timing! woo hoooo! jud, dun be jealous if u're reading this. hahaha. and nicky and i got our 2nd place =)
that's basically the exciting part.. disgustingly long wait for prize presentation.. and a totally lousy luckless draw -.-
oh well.. till my next run.. adidas sundown marathon team event =)
