SAFRA BAY RUN 2009!=)
took part in it today with the ac crossers. but i was like the only girl in the team who signed up.
:( haha!
quite a great experiece though i would say.
woke up at 4am in the morning o.O( race preperations) before haveind daddy and mummy send me there.
waited for the others before depositing our stuffs with coach and started on our warm up. its really wierd wearing the school jersey cause people are like constantly going :" eh AC cross country ppl. yada! yada! and stuffs."
the guys' race started off at 7am so i stood and stare blankly at the masses of unfarmiliar faces till 7.25am when they started the woman's race.
ran an average of 5min plus/km for the first 5km. hit 5km mark at 26min 30secs.
5km to the 8km mark was crazy. had the urge to give up and start walking but i was like totally pushing myself on. hit 8km mark at a horrible 46mins plus at the 8km mark.
grabbed a cup of water from the water station at the 8km mark, stood there to drink and rest for a while beofre running the last 2km. decided to speed up from that point. haha! totally sprint when they yelled alst 350m! clocked a timing of 60mins 52secs! according to my watch. haha!
this timing last year is like top 55! ohmigoooshhhh!
the run was pretty good all in all. except for the fact that the army guy were all freaking walking and totally causing a road block. had to shout excuse me though out the run to squeeze through the crowd.yucks to the sweaty arms that brushed past mine. had to even stop at the first check point cause the road was far too narrow and had to walk for a while cause the whole crowd was just walking and not running. urgghh.
was initially aiming for a timing below one hour. but i guess the timing is still pretty acceptable since i've not been training for the past 2 weeks plus due to the sprain of my ankle.
next 10km race will be Great Eastern women race. shall aim for about 57 TO 58mins!! =DDDD
FINAL AIM: beloe 55mins for standard chartered 2009! woots! haha.
& yay my aunt bought me a netbook today! i'm super super weeee! happy! haha.
