Last Sunday, I join in the Great Eastern 30K run. That day so happen was the birthday of one of my Church cell group sisters.
As usual I only manage to train about 1st a week since November.
The crowd before flag off.
A view while passing along Persiaran Tunku.
Bump into a GT3.
Throughout the whole race, i got 8 other runners commented me of my 2.5l bottle tumbler. soe even offered me to leave my bottle behind while they look after it. These had me thinking why telling me now of the previous 3~5 races i've done with it.
however it doesn't really matter as I found that the water bottle has helped some other runners who where behind, and we did has some nice chat along while finishing the race. Which I felt that God have sort of gave me a purpose to bring it along.
During this period (about 18KM), my knee has become seriously obviously very very achy.
After 7~10km worth of "crawling" finally see that I can stop.
Luckily, they where still much medals and food coupons and T-Shirts left even though we finished last. Well at least it was much better that Malakof 12km which i did last December where runners where forced to queue up for half hour to refreshments and much better that Mizuno wave run where we have to queue up to the FINISHING LINE (Where on earth can you find a race where you need to QUEUE UP DURING the RACE?)
Overall, the route has changed, and my clock time has deteriorated compared to last year. I managed to do about 4:18 (that's 50 minutes behind qualifying time) that time, while this time i think like i done an extra 10 minutes but felt like half and hour.
Next month wont be participating any races due to as I have duty in ministry in Church.
