Lousy Subang Run

Its been sometime i have updated the blog... maybe becoz of nothing much to report as didnt go to Desaru as planned... was looking forward for the run even though didnt specifically train for it....

Subang Run 10k is always a special run as it promises to be fast and furious as its one of the flattest road race in Klang Valley..... so was looking ready to do my first sub 45 min since i did 49mins for the last year run... and was feeling strong as have already train for a year right??? how wrong i was......

slept early the night before about 12 am but couldnt really doze off....... then suddenly something bad happened.... i was sneezing like hell.......... OMG i was going to have a cold......... but didnt really worry much about it until the alarm clock rang at 6am.... didnt feel strong at all and my nose was still bothering me..... but what the heck... a race is still a race.... furhtermore its only 10k .... how bad can it be ??

boy i was wrong...... the weather was cool and fine and it was really a nice atmosphere for clocking a PB........ started sharp at 730am as annouced and off i went..... tried to follow Kenny Tan but he was way too fast....... after the 10mins mark....... i really couldnt push it anymore.... i was having trouble breathing and maintaining my pace..... so i did the right and slowed down... but boy my ego was really hurting.... so many ppl start overtaking me.... even some runners who i have not imagined running faster than me... (hehehe not nice to name names here)... i kept thinking if i could do a sub 55mins i will be really happy........

however after the 7km mark, my second wind came..... suddenly i felt all strong over again... i started to increase my pace and start to overtake ppl (esp those who are suppose to run slower than me- hehehe- ego boosted again) ...... in the end sprinted like shit also wanna come out...... finished in 48:00 .... not bad eh...... was still queueing up for a medal and i was really suprised that there is still some left... but again i was dissapointed as i finished in 102 place....... not becoz i couldnt have the pewter medal but the pain of finishing out of medal in a race for the first time..

anyway there will be a first for everything and 48mins is still not too bad considering the condition i was in ......... becoz of that i still have a minor cold and couldnt really work the next day....

next revenge Mizuno Run....... sub 50...... here i come........
