This is my 1st run which is more than 16km after GE 30km Run. With lack of preparation due to work commitements, it really torn down my fitness level. But my determination to compete and complete the race was there burning.
I just wasnted to test my fitness and endurance level. Thus I started slow. It was relatively new route for me and 28km inclusive of high slope was chalenging for me.
I increased my pace upon 4th lap after overtaking Tan Wern Tien. I knew he has been training hard as I use to meet hi at night at Lake Garden. When i got passed him, I alerted me that, there's long way to go. Nevertheless, I continued with my pace. Soon after, I met Selva from Singapore. we chat while running for a km. Then he asked me to move on as he was exhausted.
I just continued running and overtook Hamidon who made wrong pacing by following the leading group. Upon then, I saw Daniel Tan, and he became my chatting mate for another km.
Then I was left alone. While chatting with Daniel, I met Dennis Wee, my Toastmaster buddy. He too started trining for KLIM (10km ) category. In jus showed him "hi" because i was rushing to finish the race.
As I reached 6th lap, the sun started striking on my head and i was feeling really thirsty. I took 2 cups of water at every lap. When i reached 9th lap, I accidently took 100+ and it upset my stomach. But I still continued. Reaching the final lap, thats wehere the real disaster started.
My right knee started aching and both my hands were cramped. My steps became smaller. My pacing slowed. I just jogged throughout the lap and completed the race.
The official anounced that I got 11th placing. I just tok off my shoes and walked towards the water station and finished off half bottle of 100+.
I told Daniel what happened to me during the final lap. He said that, the cramp could be due to lack of water and oxygen in my body. If I were to do another lap, I could have colapsed and could be threat to my life. Lucky man, I slowed down.
My next race will be BOMBA Run on 10th May. Im definetely eyeing to finish within 47minutes.
