I participated in the Army Half Marathon this year and can i please tell you it is very disappointing to me.. I thought tha the army would plan the event well, but i was so wrong.. Among all the races i have participated in, this is the worst plan ever.. Too many people were flagged off at the same time causing a massive jam, water points were not strategically set up, some water points were too small, the marshalls do not cheer for the runners and it was a massive cluster f***.. But there were some water stations that were great, being well spreaded out, ensuring that runners got their water and stuff.. Some of them can still sing and cheer for the runners...
Maybe i should not judge too much as after all, ALOT of the poor army men are FORCED to take part in this race to either run, be water/aid stations or route marshals... I was so dumb and innocent, that i actually believed that the race tag of these army men would write: FORCED TO RUN... How dumb....
I am so glad and honoured that i had Evelyn with me for the WHOLE 21km!! We burned 1500 Calories babe!! 1400 for me as i ate a Banana Stawberry GU Gel that tastes great! Hahaz... I so felt like giving up at the tar route but you kept me going babe... Thank you so much for encouraging me and always staying by my side, LITERALLY i mean.. Hahaz!! Running with you always give me the inspiration to move on!!! Love ya babe!! You can still help me siam here and there so that we can find space to run... I am so0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o looking forward to running the full marathon with you!!
The worst runners to be with is the Veteran Men... They like a bunch of animals running out of the zoo.. Very ill-mannered and rough.. Bang here, knock there, buah the sweat on you.. GROSS!!
After that we went back to the car to take our items.. Thank you Thomas for allowing us to use your car as a locker!! =) Evelyn and i then went to change and wash up a little... Her facial foam just made my day even better and fresher!! Hahaz!! Then i met up with YOU and we headed back home together!! Missed you so much... The journey home was really enjoyable and funny.. Mostly cause YOU were suaning me! Hahaz... You still owe me a 30sec twister... =p Thanks for sending me back home all the way!
After showering, my family and I headed off to have BAH KUT TEH for lunch!! We went to the famous Tiong Bahru Bah Kut Teh and had a GREAT time!! The food was SUPERB and after running 21km, you are just so hungry that everything tastes GREAT!! Hahaz... Lunch with family is always great and the time spent together is so precious..
Headed home, washed my extremely muddy shoe and then i went over to your place!! My knees were so aching please!! Climbing up and down the stairs really was tough... Hahaz... Plonked on your bed and we both konked out within minutes.. Then your mother asked if we wanted dinner and we went to Ubin Seafood for dinner!!
Food was great and i do reccommend you to try it out... It is at Changi hawker centre there... Dinner was great and your mum is a pleasure as usual... After that we headed back and watched the Olympic Closing Ceremony which was really boring... When it ended, we were both so tired that we knocked out soon after...
It has been a great day and i know i am going to be in great pain for the next few days, but it is all worth it.. =)
