is all about fun, endurance & pain.
talking about pain,
during ah KiaT PTI days, he recalled his instructor saying
"u must enjoy the pain..."
well all thanks to buddy donovan,
we broken our target today.
we came in at around 4.59.59 and 5 hrs flat,
so benefit of doubt, say 4.59.59hrs
hahaha.
it couldnt be possible if donovan didnt push ah KiaT for the remaining 6Km,
when all the lower limb muscle was numb and in pain.
his 仙丹 can only last about 1km before the pain comes back again.
but it was a great run,
ah KiaT practically ran throughout,
apart from using the 4 pit-stop strategy.
haha, say as if its in F1 racing.
the 2nd marathon was basically a run/walkathon,
the 1st was an experience,
but this run was really great!
the mental block at East Coast wasnt really there today,
and for once, ah KiaT quite enjoy that stretch, apart from some cramps here and there...
but 1 thing negative about this new route is the numerous U-turn.
ah KiaT hates U turn,
its like u never seem to see the point of u turn no matter how long u run.
this year run was really completed more with mental strength.
ah KiaT, once again as lazy and a procrastinator,
only trained afew times for this, and longest distance clocked just before the run was below 10km.
but really, 不认老都不行,
the recovery period is getting longer.
安哥 KiaT is still limping.
hopefully it will be okie by monday!
once again,
Congradulations to everyone for completing their run!
anyway this is the best run among the 3 attempts,
and somemore the finisher tee is nicer this year!
photos shall be out soon, so stay tuned.
but no photos with donovan.
we always dun have the chance to take pics together,
as he is rushing to find his students, who came to support him.
anw, his company maybe signing contract to officially coach SIM Track & Field club.
hahaha.
and the buddies could have ran in the same singlet.
haha,
somemore spotting the same watch!
this run was accompanied by RS200, without the heart rate monitor la.
anw, my new buy is great.
like those polar watches ah KiaT wore in army,
this watch can program ur own training program and monitor the heart rate.
and ah KiaT spent the whole evening measuring his VO2 max, which means the maximum oxygen consumption that one can intake.
but shouldnt measure today as ah KiaT just completed a physical activity,
but nonetheless, the reading is 39, which is only of a fair level.
NOT FIT, hiak hiak.
haha,
guess which colour ah KiaT bought?
and this!!!
but its not mine la.
ah KiaT's a watch lover.
where to find $$$ to have this hobby?
:):):)
妳有吗?
its december already!
1 more day to Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2008.
and this is ah KiaT's 3rd marathon.
and wow,
to think then,
when ah KiaT finally fufilled his goal of completing a marathon.
its been 3 years!
same thing,
this year ah KiaT gonna run with buddy donovan.
this year route slightly changed.
no more marina south, but enter the new route of crossing the singapore flyer as well as the F1 pit lane.
this time round, 14km will reach east coast, and 28km will exit east coast.
which looks good, as ah KiaT always have mental block at this stretch, so its better to face it early.
the previous 2 runs brought different feelings and achievements for ah KiaT, and he believe this run will bring something different!
there's 50,000 participants this year!
wow,
look at the number, its good!
people making running a habit.
this year goodie bag still okie.
and finally, finally,
after about a year of consideration,
ah KiaT decided to get his polar sports watch!
somemore its ah KiaT former PTI course commander, monkey god who is selling it!!!!
its been on the back of his mind for sometime,
and come thursday, he had a chance to buy it,
and he struggled to leave expo without buying it,
most thanks for seeks' advise against buying it.
but they say 女生变化莫测,
and when ah KiaT reached home,
those against sort of become for.
well,
its a guy thing la.
its investment.
there goes a big part of my tiny piggy bank.
but ok, i spent on myself,
i will have a minimum rate of reserve for you okie?
anyway,
2009 shall be something different.
ah KiaT gonna sign up for adidas sundown marathon.
its on 300509.
a different experience running at night.
but of course its 42.195km.
will NOT run the 84km definitely.
that takes alot of challenge, and mental + physical preparation.
and of course the march singapore biathlon.
registration had started, missed the early bird,
so shall take my time to register.
aviva triathlon shall wait,
until ah KiaT tried osim triathlon,
which shall wait until ah KiaT gets a proper road bike,
which shall wait until ah KiaT got a steady income,
which shall wait until ah KiaT got a good job,
which shall wait until ah KiaT finished the 2009 exams.
EXAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
