THREE O FIVE

Hand itchy want to write something here. It's been a while since I last came here, exactly 1 year since my last update and coincidently it was also the SCKLM! I just ran the same SCKLM last month! I didn't run much last year. Only total of 6 races. So what exactly happened after the SCKLM last year? PAR 13 I joined PAR relay. Teamed with Charmayne, Lucas, Cola and Eddy. They jio-ed me last minute to replace a friend. I ran 2nd leg and fuck, I did all out but only managed to do 4:18 pace. So slow! I can easily do sub-4 pace few years back! Haha, ok, things changed in few years! I grew older! Wind Runner team! PJ HM Then I joined the KL iconic race PJ HM and bonked half way. I planned to do 4:30 pace but end up 4:45. What a joker! Went home with empty hands. PJ HM - Trying hard to smile with puncit face GE Relay Then I joined Qiao Yun, Khairul, Teck Wai and Voon Leong for a relay in Klang. It was my only podium race in 2017, haha! Thanks to all my teammate. ...

Form wasn't very good recently. Indeed it was quite bad (it's like never good before! LOL!), I thought last year when I couldn't make it to the top 20 in Seremban HM was bad enough but this year I was even slower. Last year I did 1:30; this year I pushed so hard only 1:34. But last year was more competitive, last year even though 1:30 but I couldn't make it to the top 20. This year was slow but I got 19th! Successfully revenge for myself! Haha. The slow time was expected though the podium wasn't. I was quite dilemma these few days even in the race day morning I still couldn't decide if I should DNS. Seremban is not that near, it took me about 50 mins drive. My form wasn't great and I didn't want to wake up so early, waste time going so far to race and came back empty hand. But I felt guilty if I DNS and if I didn't race I still had to do my long run alone so why not just race it! Luckily I won something. Enough to cover my registration fees, petrol...

赛前抱着蛮大的信心可以赢得前20名，但是事与愿违。 我会再回来 赛前 这是一场准备了蛮久的比赛。KCK比赛后，制定了一个SCKLM训练表，芙蓉半马顺理成章就成了重要的训练赛。不期望破PB，但希望至少有1:32以下或者前20。几个星期的训练都达到目标，但是就在比赛的那个星期，星期二跑了山坡以后就喉咙痛发烧！星期三啃了药好点，星期四跑了一个很不舒服的13公里后又发烧，继续啃药，星期五及六烧是退了但是状态还不是最佳，一直踌躇到底要不要去比赛。最终决定还是去吧！ 当天一大早开车下芙蓉！一到赛点，看见众多高手，但是觉得自己还是有很大机会前20名。 At the starting line! 比赛 6点30准时开赛，一开跑心跳就在170以上，觉得有点不妙，因为当初计划要控制在167左右，结果高了4~5点。但如果不跑这个速度，前20或者1:32又有点渺茫，所以不管3721，直冲，把平均配速维持在4:20左右。首5公里极多山坡，5公里后一路平坦这里逐渐加速赶上Jun Wen, Tang Chee Choon, WK Loke, Ronnie, Chee Koon及几位不认识的跑者。直到12公里来到一个小山坡体力有点不支开始放慢，这时候被William，Ronnie和几位跑者超越。一路上就越跑越慢，心里建设不当，这就是不相信心跳要付出的代价。但总是觉得还在前20。 过后的7~8公里山坡不是很多，可是就越跑越慢，加速不上来，水站也停下来走十几秒。一路来到最后1公里，这时候赶上Chris，他状态明显不好。但终点前被Karsten, Voon Leong, Chee Koon几位超越，拿了名次卡第23名，有点失落跑不进前20，时间是1:30左右但是距离只有20.39公里，短了700m，大约算了如果21.1公里的话肯定是在1:32以外了。信心顿时跌倒谷底。 Last 500m, pretty drained! Voon Leong overtook me after this! Approaching the finishing line 赛后 其实也不是第一次跑不进目标，只是这次放了蛮多的心血，结果没堤防到生病。而且赛前非常有信心能达标，虽是病可是当天早上状态良好。根据心跳走势，觉得失败的原因是没跟着状态跑，开跑超速。...
