the irony of it all

Slept at about 8pm on Saturday but woke up at about 12. I guess I'm not very used to sleeping early. Haha. Subsequently woke up at 3:30 am. Ate some bread and set off to Bukit Gombak Sports Hall to board the shuttle bus. By the time I reach city hall, it was close to 5 am. wr, wj and sh were already there. It wasn't long before we started the run.

The beginning was quite ok, until we reach east coast park at about 18 km, my thighs were aching like mad. We were in a group of four at first. By the 28 km mark, I was already walking all the way to the end. I couldn't run at all. In the end, it was only wr and me. Tried to run at about 33 km, but could only last for 100m, the pain was quite bad. The rest of the marathon became a walk-a-thon. Haha. And boy, I didn't know walking could be so torturous. Every step hurt. Had to stop every once in a while to stretch a bit.

I finally finished the jog-walk in 6h:39m:14s, 79th percentile overall, and 72nd percentile in my age group (18-24). Haha! Quite at the back. Not very impressive but still, it was quite an experience. Very grateful wr was walking with me all the while, would be quite bad if i were to do it alone. Well, I would think twice about joining it next year :P
