GE 20k Preparation

GE is this coming sunday already......... getting very excited as this is my first race longer than 10km... almost equivalent to half marathon.........

luckily i have done it a few times and i know the route well....... but just to recap my last training session in hartamas............ as usual i picked up mary just before 7am and reached bkt aman car park by 725am... waiting for jaja for awhile before shooting of at about 745 am....

bacin, jamil, mary and azman went to double hill while me, khairul, faie went for the usual hartamas route........... i started off strong but i could feel the fatigue from yesterday's hill run at kiara....... furhtermore i swam like shit the past 2 days and i could feel that my fuel tank is on high alert....... i was already struggling when reaching Petronas for a break..... met Awea who just finished his rest........ and was quite suprise to find Jess, Awea's gf just reaching a few minutes after.......... boy........ isnt she quick........

reach Petronas in 1hr........ which was way too slow (slowest of them all actually) ....... didnt rest long as Jess was shooting off quickly....... in my mind ....... i must follow her pace.... where can lose to a gal??? wish ful thinking .... i couldnt follow her and there i was running alone (actually panting like hell)......... so i was suprised that i saw her again when i reach the highway to cross over........ chat a bit ........ and we crossed together... wanted to follow her again.... but wrong move.... i am already using my emergency fuel ........ so after the 8km point... i started to walk and run......... and for the final slope (15 minutes) i walk all the way......... that also i was exhausted............ havent felt that way for a long time........... finished in 2:06........ man that was bad............ i really gotta rest and refresh...

neways i have push myself enough last week and this week i just had an easy run on Tuesday with some gym work on Monday..... has a rest yesterday.... and will do a swim with Gerry today... tommorow intend to play squash and some light run on Saturday...... by then i will be ready for GE.............
