The worst thing can happen in Half Marathon

Seremban Half Marathon 2006

First of all i want to apologize to Adam and the gangs because i dint turn up at 4:30am, i truely regret is as my own fault not getting up on time. really really sorry to u all.

5:45am-wake up, still in KL! really its nightmare, i cant believe this is happening, the run is at Seremban le! Grab what ever can and reach to my car, call ronnie on the way to ask about which hotel he staying to collect the bid. ask him to pass it to the receptionist as i will be late.

6:00am-start my car and push it to the limits.

6:30am-reach seremban my PR from Wangsa Maju to Seremban! got minor scratch on the car as i hit drain i dint see while parking! bad luck!

6:45am-after get bids from the hotel run to the padang, just a sips of isotonic drink i heard the gun sound off for the half marathon run, quickly run to join the half marathon runner, break fast dont take, banana dont take, shoe not tie, no streaching, no warming up, bid number not tag so had to tag it on and all the runner run about 100m in front i had to start from the last place!, and the watch timing forget to start! very bad luck!

7:15am-1st water station still no sight yet, only see sponging station, take my power gel and steal the vounteer drinks! i was lucky can steal volunteer drink while the other get no drinks! somemore saw people sell drink for rm1, i though the drink should be sponsor by the organiser! i stop to tie my shoe and all the runner i just over took, run pass by me! very very bad luck!

7:50am-reach first water station, at 10/11km mark, only serve isotonic, after drink keep burping, and somemore ran uphill, after 13km cannot take it lia, so thristy and leg so tired, walk and run, manage talk to few other runner from seremban and kl. most of them complaint about no water serve at 5km mark. for me no more Seremban half in future, organiser suck!

8:30am-reach 2nd( the last) water station, drink 2 cups of pipe water! then meet up with the student walker, they all come for 'jalan jalan' ka? sun already come out, so hot and thristy manage to walk and run only. at one time i had to stop at petrol station to wet my body coz very hot, this time confirm very bad timing!

9:15am-finish the run, thank God got a guy pacing with me in last 2km. i guess i am old, cant remember his name. but if see his face should remember him. nice chatting with him, also from kl, next week he will be at port dickson for the triathlon and the following week in the penang bridge run, should be able to meet him there!

1:00pm-reach home after lunch with ronnie, rac, ah loong and cm in Seremban for Famouse fishball noodle and only server with barley or jelly drink, no Milo! thanks to Ah Loong recommend this shop no Milo for me :( ,so tired wan go to dreaming again...

overall this is my worst half marathon...
