our trophies.. first time in my life i won a trophy for running. when i was in primary school i always got kicked out of track races in the HEATS. hahahawe had a bountiful yield this year at mr25's cross country marathon.
dearie came in 3rd at 3:53, i only managed at 5:03 but as many girls dropped out, i got 2nd!
the rest of the team did well too; chia came in 2nd at 3:48 and thomas 4:44. isabel and eric didn't manage to complete but did 2 laps..so that was good training for them =)
i was glad i did not give up like last year. i was just hoping to complete it. it was really mental as i ran 3/4 of the race alone.. i did 1/2 with isabel on lap 1 and only managed to catch up with another lady at the golf course of lap 4.
somehow seeing that lady helped me speed up. after arriving at the last drink station together, i quickly gulped the drink and sped off. i knew it was just another 2.5k+ and i needed to stay ahead of her. at least to be 1 position ahead of her. in the last tormenting sloping 400m, dearie ran with me, in his slippers and that helped me chiong to the end. i was hoping to complete it in 5hrs but was off by a little. nevertheless, placing 2nd came as an added bonus.
thursday i'll bring h20 down..to thank those who came to support us.. and to share my joy with the rest of the team.
much thanks to the following who were there today: weeling, brian, sham, lucas, baldwin, yenling & jessica.
