The day started badly, dearest called to wake me up, if not for her I woulden't be at the race venue on time. Met up with Fahmi at CEC, waiting for dearest and Shaiful to turn up.
Didn't catch much sleep or breafast that morning, that was crazy.
10K race started, Fahmi and dearest took off, wonder how their run was.
15mins later, met up with Shai, took off for the 15k.
The route:
It was insane. Seriously. There was no shelter for miles around, just you and the blazing sun. The first 4km was a dirt track, which was disadvantageous for me due to my body weight. Every step sent my foot sinking into the ground, having to jerk to pull it out again.
Having no breakfast was taking its toll, my legs felt extremely heavy. Gave up running for the 6-9km region.
at about 9km, burning from the sun's blaze, I coulden't hold out like that, so i decided to give it my all and push to the finish, ending it.
But halfway there, both my legs simultaneously cramped. I was in a world of pain. I could tell, my body ran out of electrolytes, was running purely on fat, which isn't enough for my level of expenditure.
I fought the spasming, it was really painful, running on the same legs that were cramped, and each step seemed like torture. The road back seemed to stretch further and I began to hallucinate.
I don't know how I made it back, but I did. With many hard lessons learnt.
that aside, the bunch of us had fun and enjoyed chilling out after.
eeeee...
