this is wad happens before the race. hit onto a pillar at marina square carpark. din notice any pillars while reversing due to obstructions. moreover my rear sensors did not sound out. suddenly, a loud "bang" alerted me! my mind was "Oh NO, im in deep shit. mummy & daddy gotta scream at me after i return home!" indeed they scolded me for being careless & reckless. it was not a good day to start before the race. keep brooding about the incident & thinking how am i going to face my twinty aunts and parents. twinty aunts will definitely SCREAM at me if they see this after they return from malaysia today. promised to bear all damage costs (heard it costs from $30 - $100++ to get this shit done) since this was cause by me. argh... my first car incident. always hav a clean record when on the road. now parents gotta hav a watchful eye of me when i drive le.

shall not bother you guys about the car incident. YES! i'd completed my first half-marathon in an estimated time of 2hrs 09mins (actual timing will be released at a later date) it was a good run though. however, was rather disappointed with the timing. felt could hav done better without the cramps during the last 2km. got the cramps when i tried to pound at a faster pace from the 19km mark. it was terrible. literally slow jogged to the finishing line. prob could hav save abt 5-8mins? i dunno... had good 1km sprint attempts 3 races previously. but this time round i was soo much in pain.

certainly mind over body plays a big part for the last few km. esp the u-turn at nicoll highway (guess its the 16km mark. soo near yet soo far) and you gotta face the 9am scotching sun. through the run ive seen runners with babies on their backs, one on clutches, another running & dragging a tyre. amazing. haas. interestingly you will also see runners dash to the bushes for a quick "toilet break" overall it was a good experience for me since its my first participation in half-marathon. thanks standchart for making this a memorable run for 2007!

was not done after the race. went to meet sec sch mates for brlunch and bowling. got a HUGE scare after bowling session. my hp was found MISSING! amusingly it was found in one of the bowling shoes after we returned it. haas. haiz... its jus NOT my day... (no worries herdi the hp is in good shape after a shock!) haas. alrite. im very tired and my hairy legs needa a rest.

cheers.ciaoz
