Yeah thats what i did at the nike human race today. Run. And never look back. To the extent that i did not know dT was running behind me all along the race. So yeah maybe you should have called me dT? So i would have known you were behind me and we could have possibly ran together. Haha
Regarding the race, met CH first at like 0600 in the morning, Ed:then met CL soon after and then waited for dT and ken who decided to be late and come the M-cube way(by train) instead. So they came at about 7. Yep.
Then it was the race part. It was crowded. Really crowded. Insanely crowded. Chaotic-ally crowded. And the list goes on but in one word: FROWDED. The start line was packed all the way back for like, 100 metres? So we decided to skip the official flag off, go toilet and then do some stretching.
And then we went. Everyone was like sick or half sick so the run wasn very well done. But i was quite unhappy at the start of the race, as everyone was an inconsiderate runner. People strolled on the right side of the lane, people jogged REALLY slowly(not saying im fast. its really slow) ALONGSIDE each other till they almost block out the whole lane, then there are those who just don't know what they are doing also la. So i was quite pissed because i had to jostle and bump into so many people that i ended up running in a zig-zag fashion instead of straight.
Finally reaching a point where everyone else was running the same pace as me, there was lotsa space for everyone so i felt better then. By then it was 7k plus so it was just another 3k before it all ended. Took the apparently nicer finisher thingy, some free gifts before chilling at some corner while waiting.
All in all it was an ok race, with the resentment lying in areas such as the bad route (very narrow at many places), and some inconsiderate participants. Other than that, it was something nice to take part in and talk about.
Oh well thats all. Another string of events coming ahead so i guess im getting a bite of sleep first! =]
