yay! this is my 108th post which means the next post is my ONE OH NINTH post. and i alr have smth special in mind thanks to brillant idea frm huiwen! aha!
haha recap of standard chartered. met up with eileen and we went to the fullerton toilet to prep ourselves. SUPER NICE (: it IS THE FULLERTON OK! and this time the run i started out easy unlike sheares bridge when i started so fast and nearly died at the end. haha quite nice. first 7km was physical, nothing difficult and i ran at constant pace. the last 3 km was mental and i varied my pace slightly cos my ankle was showing signs of giving way. but i finished it without having to stop for my ankle so im happy! (: and i didnt feel the tingling numbness in my left ankle this time, just tt my right one ached slightly. and i didnt bother to stop at any water points this time haha. didnt want to break my rhythm. i shall wait patiently for the official timings to be out even though i timed myself and i guess it's around 1 hr 13 min. quite happy with it cos it's still faster than newbalance though i didnt train this time- cos im so lazy lol.
seriously u see all sorts of people at the race lah. we saw MR IVAN SOH OMG! we were like wth omg! ahahahah! then i spotted the bball team haha and the usual few rj/ri trackers. i cant believe they want to wear their jerseys to the race lor. i would never wear raffles stuff while running. then there are the big beefy sweaty guys, the skinny ones and the women who did the "big walk" walk. haha there was this guy who burped so loudly lor! everyone near him immediately siam-ed. and at the 6km mark there was this old guy who overtook all the young ones! real pro, so cool!
then me and eileen went suntec to EAT KENNY ROGERS! muahaha damn nice the macaroni & cheese! we basically stoned before eileen dragged me to the sports and fitness expo. and i have to thank her for tt cos when we went there we got a FREE NIKE SOCK cos we ran during the race yayness! and they had free rock climbing trys there too. eileen strongly encouraged me to go and i was like aiyah go for wht, i rock climb quite often wht. haha in the end both of us went and at the same time x) heh. and while waiting we were chatting to the super nice belayer. our conversation went...
