6am in the morn 22nd June '08.. it was freezing and to make things worse.. it was raining.. nevertheless, drugged up to my eyes with caffiene.. I went for another 21.1km test.. it was really freezing.. the worst possible conditions I could think of- hands freezing up.. muscles going cold and starting to cramp, slippery roads, worn out shoes and best of all.. no prior training for terrain running.. but nevertheless.. thank God I'm still alive and breathing.. 1:47:25.. knocked off 6 min from my previous timing.. Thank God for the good friends and well wishes that came thru.. they were the last bit of warmth I could muster.. and after that- dragging my wet and soggy ass back all the way to the Kwek Residence..
Yixian says it looks like I had explosive diarrhoea..
Chocked up quite a few injuries especially at my knee joints and the 5th metatarsal of my left foot.. there's a bruise mark and the ligament gets a wierd "rubbery" feeling when I rotate my ankle downwards.. Nevertheless... it was a good journey.. feeling abit overabitious.. but I would like to train for the mini triathlon in future referance.. first, gotta learn how not to swim like a whale on discov channel..
