Entry: Nike Human Race 2009 Tuesday, October 27, 2009

been there n done-ed.

i rocked the race @ 1 hr 13mins 22 secs! =) ranked 889 among e gals.. and 4141 in total. -_- think total got 10000 ppl running..

tho the timing didn't reach my target @ 70mins but i'm still quite satisfied with 73mins :) an improvement of 5 mins from last year's Great Eastern Women's 10K. ok.. i think the one who run 35mins probably wore skates to complete the remaining 3k.

the run was going smoothly until i reach the last 250m. it is so near yet so far. -_- the finishing line was just ahead of me but i just couldn't get my legs to run even faster, until the last 50m. and ya, am still running like a dog. lol now i was wondering how can i slash the timing again by 3mins. such a long distance.. T_T

anyway, one interesting stuff that i've observed: all e nike runners wore nike human race shirts but most of them goes with adidas shorts and running shoe. haa, so what does it shows? many people commented that it is very difficult to run with so many participants especially when they keep blocking your way, which in turn, affect your timing. (base on my case)i would like to think otherwise. apart from viewing it as a motivation - to run pass people in order not let them block your way, the runners would actually make me control my pace so that i don't exert myself too much until i've no energy to run finish e race. i strongly believe 'you can means you can.' everybody also faces the same situation. the difference is how u see it. =) oh well, im also not in e competitive catagory so who cares, haa. im just competing with myself.
