bhp run - 13th apr 2008

3am - rain like crazy...
4am - even more heavily...
5am - hmm...rain started to slow down to drizzle...

ahsiong cakap rendezvous in near fitness first at the curve. was at the curve around 0645hrs, looking around for fitness first. saw ahsiong with his orange running suit gear with gps on his belt and training watch? wah, so high tech! the run will be starting around 0730hrs so decided to do some warm up before the run in 10mins time. you can see people drag their asses out from this cooling weather which is nice to be in bed covering with your blanket with air cond blowing down. aih...

if not mistaken the run should be started exactly 0730hrs when the gun went off in the air. air was cooling that added an advantage to everyone i guess! so started off normal, sprint about 50meter just to get my legs to warmup. the women started 5mins after men, about 10mins into the run the 1st women went pass through me. she was wearing a cap and boy she could run! feeling a little embrassing (i guess alot men did that time) went up my pace a little.

looking confident

went this going to be over!

dazed n confused!

into the hills i came! it was like dragging another extra 10kg each of your legs. i thought i will stop at some point. but my determination speaks for it self! do not stop! didn't took any water at the water station too (big mistake). it was crowded with ppl anyway and i do not want to stop either. after a successful climb and exit out to the ex-sony building heading towards 1u, saw jazzmint taking picture of the bhp run (thanx for the pic!). the last 2-3km was not easy for me, exhausted and feeling a little light headed. must be lack of liquid, walked about 5mins to rest then continued all the way to the finish line.

distance : 9.98km (according to ahsiong gps)
time started : 0730hrs
time ended : 0840hrs
total time taken : 70mins
