back on the road again...

last sunday was the Nike+ Human Race. it started 15mins later than it's suppose to be. usually while training, i could run 7km comfortably without stopping or even starting to pant. but running this 10km is so much tougher. the environmental conditions are just different. at the start point, everyone goes off really fast, because there were still thousands of people behind you and you dont want to be stampeded or pushed over. so that was what happened. i ran faster than my usual pace at the start, and couldn't keep up that speed for long before i became really tired. the second half of the race was hell, going down into underpasses and up onto road level again multiple times. clarke quay area has loads of underpasses. so the terrain is super tiring. i ran until i had chest pains around the 6km mark. so i had to stop to walk. so afraid to be one of those athletes who died during such races >.< with obstacles such as chest pains, stitch n blisters, i still managed a 1hr 16mins. not too bad though i can run 7km in less than 45mins. the fastest timing in the world for this race is like 29mins. for 10km leh!! no play play okay.
