Hey peepz!
here's part TWO of the super exciting life of mengchuanthehunk. This feature is on the Marathon!
Yesh! i took part in this years standard chartered marathon! i missed last years. so i was determined to take part in this years!
Went with Star to collect our race packs! star went to queue for his 10 km while i queued for my 42. its funny how Ah Ken happened to come in time to queue just behind me! whahaha! so instead of studying for my exam on monday (it was a friday), we ended up chatting for the next one and a half hours. Still, thank God Ken was there if not i would have been bored by my notes.
Then the race day came! keke. My dad was going to run the 21 Km and he's more excited than me! actually, if you read the straits times the next day, my dad was on the front page in the picture on the right hand corner behind the baby! keke. My dad's on front page! whahaha!!! how glamourous!
I met up with Ron Tu. We agreed to be running buddies throughout the entire race! keke. we started out late cos we were queuing for the damn toilet. The first half was great! until the second half. When ron and I took turns to get cramps in the legs! so we ended up walking half of the second half. but he was very encouraging and a great running buddy for the tough and strenuous journey.
i dun have a pic of ron and I running though. so i shall just put myself up!
That's me looking oh-my-god-like-tom-cruise-in-mission-impossible!
Thats me finishing my last few meters!
And that's me finishing the race in 5 hours and 30 minutes with a wide smile! Haha!
Well, again, it was great and wonderful, besides torturous, painful, hot, sweaty, strenuous and slow, i would do it again next year, only to curse and swear at my idiocy at why i decided to do so in the first place!
