Went for this CSC 4.4km river run thingy along singapore river on 31st Oct, which is err… 2 days ago.
I admit that I was abit too onz. In fact, I was regretting the decision & thinking of giving up even at the last hr! Signed up initially cos jc frens was psychoing me to join the 10k stanchart run at the end of the yr and I was not confident if I can complete 10k, so when I got home & saw the email for 4.4k, I decided to give it a try!
It was a moment of folly! Worse, I din even practise much b4 going for the run, maybe just 4 times? I was a bit worried that I’ll die from Sudden Cardiac Death esp since I did a recent feature on this and learnt that humans can be rather vulnerable! :p *touchwood*
Anyway I went to gym the day before for practice and mged to run 2.68km in 20mins on the treadmill. Ok a bit more confidence though I seem to have overexert my muscles abit. The day finally came & I dragged myself to face the challenge! I was alone, no familiar faces (though I suspect I saw my cousin’s wife who din recognise me?!), I’m really tooooo onz…
The race started. Stopped & rest for quite a no. of times along the way but I managed to complete the whole journey in 28mins! To be honest, I was quite happy! I wasn’t really putting in much effort!
Thought it wld take me at least 40mins! In fact, the fastest record was 20mins & there were alot of pple who took more than 40mins! But anyway, I really suspect that the dist is less than 4.4k lar…
What an accomplishment for the day! Must be too 沾沾自喜 that I bought 2 pairs of shoes & a dress @ raffles place later *OPPS* :p
