Standard Chartered Marathon 2008

Alright!
I've finally completed my first full Marathon!

And I tell you, that would also probably be my last...
I used to think my dad was just plain irritating when he kept saying "Its stupid to pay just to go there and torture yourself"
Now, that phrase is making a whole lot more sense.
Really, running a marathon is not enjoyable at all, to me lah.
okay, maybe not that extreme to say "at all"
I did enjoy the first 10km and the last 10 metres...

Overall it was fucking torturous!
If they had made it much easier to quit, for example, place teleport machines along the way.
I wouldn't have finished the marathon...

Also, in 18 years, I've never drank that much of 100 plus in a day before.
I puke 100 plus out.
I perspire 100 plus out.
I pee 100 plus out.

Put my rants aside.
I'm proud to have done it together with Zheng Hui, Ken Tat, Wei Xing and my sister!
ok not literally together because I lost them early in the run.
and yes. I ran most of it ALONE.
Damn sad.

Anyway, kudos to the guys for completing a full marathon without even trying the half marathon.
They have some big balls.

And a BIGGER KUDOS to my sister.
It was her second marathon and she was still able to complete it even after having a recurrence of an old knee injury early at the 7km mark and she completed the last 20km with a bandaged knee!
That's Determination people.
wooooohoooooo!

by the way, I think my chip time is about 5hr 30mins.
I think its a pretty decent timing for me
BUT
I was slower than my sister last year :(
ok ok. I admit defeat!
I won't give excuses ok! (erm, actually I had abit of stitch and half cramps..)

OK!
now there are 2 lame ducks in my house...

Congratulations to everyone who has completed the marathon this morning!
Have a GOOD rest!
Its Hari Raya tmr!
woohooo!
