This will be my 7th competitive run. After resting for almost 2 months since the 25km passion run in May, it is time to start training again.
I shall set a higher target this year i.e. to go below 2hr 5 min. My previous timings were:
2008 - 2 hr, 8 min
2009 - 2 hr, 18 min
Hope that I am not over estimating myself.
Afternote: Yes! I had over estimated myself. My net timing was 2h:10m:10s.
This year's SAFRA 21km run started earlier than previous year at 5.15 am. I had to wake up at 3 am, drank only a cup of Milo and met William at his place at 3.50 am. Thereafter, we drove to pick KP Tan at 4 am. We parked at Golden Shoe Carpark at about 4.30 am. We had enough time walking to the starting point and did some warm-up. The weather was fine, just a little humid. Unfortunately, due to insufficient training, I could only manage 2 hr, 10 min :-(
