just got back from the frankston race....
omg it was terrible....took pain to a whole new level.
the terrain was like the first half of macritchie....only this time it was ALL THE WAY.
lots of little annoying hills that screw up your rhythm....
so so so glad its over now.
on the last lap (it was 4 x 4km laps) i dont think ive ever been in that much pain in a run. the army half marathons were pain, and the full marathon too....but this one was somehow worse. i felt as though i was literally gonna pass out of exhaustion. but the girls' race was first, so by the time the men were running, they were cheering us on. so i couldnt stop or just collapse along the way...pai seh ah....haha.
neways...did a 68m 14s for 16km.....was pretty satisfied. i was aiming for anything under 70 mins. and given the harsh terrain, im happy with the timing. no doubt i still finished second last compared to the other men in the running club, but i kinda got used to that already. haha. not being last is a good thing unto itself.
ah....now i can flop onto the sofa, whip out my ta-pao dinner and watch TV....yay!
