2XU Compression Run 2012
yo! 2XU Compression Run, a head start of my first run in 2012. I registered this together with Aston, and he managed to psycho me to join 15km instead of my usual 10km.
first time i went to the race pen, deposited my bag, walked over to the starting point alone. yeah, i didn't managed to find Aston at all. i bet he must be right at the front together with those elite runners. hahaha. but heh, i managed to bump into Kelvin at the starting point.
the 15km running route
it was a really tough run, the sun was scorching hot which brightly hanging up burning down on me, almost giving me heatstroke. i saw Aston and Kelvin at some U-turn point, and bumped into Seok Chin too at around 6.5km, haha i saw him from behind. yeahh that was where i ran out of energy too. haha. i stopped and ended up my walk-run throughout.
hurr, the splitting point between 10km runners and 15km runners were at around 9km. that was like a torture, when you see 10km runners going to end their race soon since they only left with 1km to go, whereas us still have a solid 6km more to go! awwwwww... i'm so sorry to my legs, you have to endure 6km more..
and the final last 3-4km is the hellish one. the sun was getting more and more horrible. i see myself getting more and more tanned. haha. but still, i managed to make it back in one piece. haha. YEAH, I'M BACK!
yeah yeah, cross the finishing line.

the isotonic drink sponsored - POCARI SWEAT
rubbish mess
all the finished runners.
oh yeah.. i managed to see Hui Ting, Hui Min and Ming Hui too. first time i bumped into so many friends in a marathon run. hahaha
well, good job to the organiser. the drinks they provided in all the water point was solid ice cold. that was the reason i managed to survive the heat. so so so super cold that i cannot wait to chiong for the water point. hahah.
and and, i really didn't expect when we completed the race, they even provide us with cold 2XU towel. so cooling yo, I LIKE!
yeah, 15km completed with my bib number
my finisher medal
my full set of 2XU tee and short, plus towel
kind of disappointed, when i aimed for less than 2 hours, and i came back with 2 hours 1 min!! like awwww, that was like so close yet so far. if i'm like 2 mins faster, woooohhh!
my timing.
