Workouts

@ Subang 10k



Stretch

Things
- It's a bittersweet run. Sweet because I managed to finish it by giving maximum effort. No regrets. Bitter because I actually finished it around 10seconds after qualifying time. Nike+ recorded 1:17 cause when the race ended, I went up to reporting table, was the FIRST PERSON to be turned away .. Turned around to take a breather, forgot that Nike+ was still running, tried to turn off but cannot. Then realized that it was on 'Hold' haha. Turned it off and recorded my time and pace. Sad lah a bit cause my best wasnt good enough

- I made a mistake by running in the middle of the road to avoid other runners. Gee there's a reason why runners dont run in the middle of the road - since there were lots of left turn, running in the middle of the road will cause ppl to run further a bit. Besides the additional 2mins something in Nike+, I still dont get why Nike+ recorded the 10.92km distance tho. Did I really add 10% to my run by picking to run in the middle of the road most of the time?

- I should've brought all my bottles (took out 2 bottles from my 4-bottles FuelBelt). I was so dehydrated and dizzy 6km onwards, I ran with one eye closed and head looking down trying not to lose pace and balance.

- On a lighter note, I've managed to cross out this out of my 2007 goals : Participate in a race (7km - 10km) . Whee!
